Host families will be assigned a visiting international student or teacher and are required to provide them with a private bedroom and two meals daily鈥攂reakfast and dinner. The guest pays for all other personal expenses while in the United States.
A stipend of $450 a month will be paid to each hosting family for the duration of the guest's stay, which can range from four weeks to one year. A simple, online application process is utilized for host family selection.
