Good to know
The best-known programmes are scholarship-funded: travel, tuition and accommodation are paid by the organiser and the family pays nothing.
Exchanges have the tightest deadlines in the whole catalogue — applications often close six months before departure.
Frequently asked questions
How much does an exchange programme cost?
The best-known ones are scholarship-funded: FLEX covers travel, tuition and accommodation in the US in full, and the family pays nothing. Others (AFS, Rotary) offer scholarships or partial funding.
When should we apply?
Six months to a year before departure — exchanges have the tightest deadlines of any opportunity for children. FLEX usually opens in autumn, so preparing over the summer is sensible.
Which programmes are open to Ukrainian students?
FLEX (a year in the US, full scholarship), AFS (a semester or year in dozens of countries), Rotary Youth Exchange, Erasmus+ for young people, and short exchanges run by European foundations. Current intakes are in this list.
