Refund Policy


All notification of withdrawal must be made in writing via email to customizedfacultyled@aifs.com or certified mail to: Customized, Faculty-Led Programs, AIFS Study Abroad, 1 High Ridge Park, Stamford, CT 06905. Postmark date or date of email is considered date of withdrawal. All withdrawal statements must be signed by the applicant, or they will not be processed.

If a student withdraws on or before Friday, November 8, 2024, a full refund will be made less $150, plus any non-refundable deposits paid either by the student or by AIFS on the student’s behalf.

If a student withdraws after Friday, November 8, 2024, but on or before Friday, December 6, 2024, the $450 deposit fee is forfeited, along with any non-refundable deposits paid either by the student or by AIFS on the student’s behalf.

Students withdrawing voluntarily for any reason after Friday, December 6, 2024 receive no refund and the total program fee is due.

Once the program has started, students withdrawing receive no refund under any circumstances. This refund policy is necessary because the booking of facilities in Florence requires substantial non-refundable payments and commitments by AIFS in advance.

Please note that students who are academically withdrawn by their home institutions after their applications have been processed by AIFS are subject to the standard refund policy.
