Deposits
Program Deposit: A deposit of 25% of the program’s total is due before the end of the application deadline. This would include the cost of classes and housing deposit. All applications are due one month before the start date. Late applications are accepted only with a late application fee of US $48 which is not refundable and the deadline for late applications is rolling (inquire for more details).
Housing Deposit: There is a $285 refundable caution deposit for all students/volunteers who use our housing. This deposit is to guard us against any damages to our property. Students/volunteers are responsible for any damage to furniture or appliances in rooms, apartments or homestay residences they occupy. The deposit will be refunded to students/volunteers at the conclusion of their stay, less any damages.
Please remember that housing and program availability are based on a first-come-first-serve basis.
