Hosting an Exchange Student in a tough economy.
Question: Holding back from hosting a foreign exchange student because of the economy?  Please give it a second thought.

The exchange student's family is required to cover most of the student's living expenses, plus most programs provide health insurance for the student.  Sure, as a host you will be responsible to provide the student a place to stay and food to eat, but consider the value! When you host a foreign exchange student, you will be part of a program that has proven to be one of the best diplomatic tools in bridging cultures.

You can and should apply anytime. The next semester is in Fall 2010.  A family in Nashville says, "If we can do it, anybody can." Hear how they were able to host a student in a tough economy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyeRicBEVB8&feature=player_embedded
