Host a Foreign Exchange Student

AYA Cultural Activity Fund

$300 for your student!

AYA is proud to offer the Cultural Activity Fund! This initiative is a one-of-a-kind opportunity available for the majority of AYA students. Students who take part in this exciting program will each have $300 a year ($150 for a semester student) for their Host Family and/or Local Coordinator to apply towards cultural events throughout the year. This stipend can be used to take your student to a local fair, for admission to a museum, for a special school trip or to help with the costs of a weekend trip. The Cultural Activity Fund is designed to reduce the cost of taking your students to cultural events during their stay in the U.S.

The Cultural Activity fund can be used to help pay your student's cost for a variety of cultural activities such as:

  • Museums
  • Theaters
  • Concerts
  • Amusement parks
  • Community Fairs
  • Weekend Trips
  • School Field Trips

AYA is the first program to offer this benefit and we are confident this will enhance the experiences of both student and host family. Contact AYA today for more details about this wonderful program!

I am the 8th exchange student my family has hosted. They are so experiences and self-sacrificing all the time. They have treated me as their own child keeping my cutlure in view. I feel so much love in everything they do and enthusiasm that they always have no matter what. I am really thankful for their support throughout the year.
