Program Costs
Program Fee
$550 per person (does not include air travel)
Transportation
All ground transportation in the country of service is arranged by AJWS and is included in the program fee. The cost of international air travel, however, is not included in the program fee. Air travel is arranged by the campus organization staff and paid for by participants.
Accommodations
The cost of accommodations (rustic, communal living, often without running water or electricity) is included in the program fee. All accommodations are arranged by AJWS.
Visas and Entry/Exit Taxes
Participants are responsible for obtaining a visa to their country of service (and paying any related fees) if one is required. AJWS staff will inform participants if a visa is required. Participants are responsible for paying all entry/exit taxes.
Health Insurance
In the case of a medical emergency, all participants receive emergency evacuation assistance and medical referrals through International SOS, a well-respected medical assistance provider. International SOS does not pay for the cost of medical care; therefore, participants must have their own health insurance that covers the cost of treatment while overseas.
Medical Preparation
Participants are responsible for speaking to their doctors regarding any preventative medical treatments (immunizations, anti-malarial pills, etc.) prior to travel, and are financially responsible for these costs.
