Students going abroad will receive cost information from their host Rotary Club/District. This will likely include the cost of travel/health insurance. SCANEX accepts CISI Plan B insurance (see https://www.culturalinsurance.com/rotary/rotary_plan_options.asp for current costs), plane fare, and other costs, which would be explained by the sponsoring Rotary Club/District. SCANEX does not charge a fee for incoming students.

In accepting applications, SCANEX follows all relevant data protection and privacy laws. Your information will only be shared with our staff and host families who have been screened and vetted and have gone through appropriate training in handling confidential data.

What does a Rotary Youth Exchange Student do?

• Rotary Youth Exchange is a cultural understanding and peace program.  We want our students to learn about life outside of their country of origin and in return allow others to learn about their culture.  Rotary Youth Exchange students will learn to live Rotary’s motto of “Service Above Self.”

• While on exchange, you will be hosted by 1-4 host families–all volunteers!  

• You will be expected to attend school and your visa will not allow you to have a job while in your host country.

• The exchange is for a full academic year and your visa will be valid for 12 months.
  
• Follow Rotary’s rules for exchange student conduct, including not using illegal drugs/alcohol, drive a motor vehicle, engage in sexual activity.
