Families are expected to pay $4000 with 2 additional deposits of $500 that would be returned if unused and if the exchange is completed successfully. Flights, student Visas, medical insurance, school fees, room and board are inclusive.* Students receive a monthly allowance from their host Rotary Club while abroad. Any costs incurred above that would be the responsibility of the family.
The Rotary Clubs of Camrose want to select the BEST student to represent them and encourage all interested students to apply. Even if finances may be a barrier please apply. There are potential fundraising opportunities to help support families.
*extra costs may be incurred by families if totals are above Rotary's set limits.
