FAQs
How long until a student is placed in my home?
Once your inquiry, application, and interview are complete, matching begins right away. It can happen quickly or take a few weeks, depending on demand in your area.
Can I still host if I have a pet?
Yes, just note it on your application. Some students love pets and some are allergic or wary of them, so we make sure you're matched accordingly.
How much is the monthly stipend?
It varies by location. Your local coordinator will confirm the exact amount for your area during the application process.
What happens if a student leaves early?
If a student's stay ends mid-period, your stipend is prorated: the monthly rate divided by 30 days, rounded up to the nearest dollar.
Do I need to speak another language?
No. Most students come to build their English, so everyday conversation at home is part of the experience.
