<p>What is the cheapest foreign cultural immersion/family homestay you know of (through an accredited organization).
I'm planning on going abroad the summer after HS graduation (technically I'd be accepted into a college by then), to Japan.</p>
<p>YFU-USA is what I've looked at the most, costs $7500.
Ayusa is $7850.
AFS is $8300.</p>
<p>Are there any other ones you've heard of? Even the Lions Club has one, but I can't seem to find any info.</p>
<p>I'm NOT looking at things like GLA or those leadership etc ones (unless they're under $7000, maybe). </p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>I would suggest you to study in Australia as international students in Australia are allowed to work while studying to help yourself in financial and besides schools in Australia are great.
Look for IDP education in you region and you will get more information on studying abroad.</p>
<p>Hi, I’m a YFU Japan alumni. YFU offers scholarships to study in Japan, but I’m not sure if you would be eligible since you would have graduated from high school. But it doesn’t hurt to call YFU and ask. If you are awarded a partial scholarship, then it will only cost 2,500 I believe. I had an awesome experience abroad with YFU and had no problems with my host families. Feel free to private message me with any questions or post them here and I will happily answer them. Good Luck!
