How much money (approximately) would a year as an exchange student cost?
I'm thinking of going to Brazil during my sophomore or junior year of high school (probably the latter), but I was trying to find an approximation on the cost, and I can't find one. Does anyone have any knowledge about how much it would cost, or even an educated guess?

Hmm... That actually depends a lot on which program you decide to go with. The largest high school exchange programs are Rotary, YFU, and AFS. With YFU (the organization I am using), an academic year in Brazil costs about $8500 this year, and AFS will be about the same. (This may change a little bit in the next few years.) There are of course scholarships that you can get for both of these programs, but you probably shouldn't rely on getting one. Rotary is a little different. It is much cheaper than other organizations, and will usually have you stay with about three host families throughout the year. The downside is that it doesn't always allow students to choose the country that they will be in, but this doesn't seem to bother rotarians much. Anyway, here are the websites if you want to find more information. http://www.rotary.org/en/Pages/ridefault.aspx http://www.yfu.org/ http://www.afs.org/afs_or/home
