Just One Fee
It’s one affordable fee that covers your entire semester abroad. We have payment plans and discounts available.
Cut Costs In Half
ILP is a non-profit organization, which means donations are tax-deductible for your friends and family. So many volunteers pay for half (or even all!) of their program fee through creative fundraising projects.
3-4 Months
And ILP trip abroad is about the same time as a semester at most universities. Take a semester off of school or volunteer during your summer break.
Go Again With Steep Discounts
Volunteer once, then go back again as a peer group leader. Depending on the location, Head Teachers get their program fee either completely waived or deeply discounted. Head Teachers also receive a spending stipend to help with in-country costs like vacations.
Tax-Deductible Fundraising
Get Help — Neighbors, friends, businesses, family, and relatives can all donate.
Take Advantage — Donations made to International Language Programs towards your program fee are tax-deductible for U.S. taxpayers.
Earn Big — Those who do fundraising typically raise an average of $1,000+.
Success Stories — We’ve gathered tips into a downloadable PDF so you can see what other volunteers have done and get started.
Go With Others And Save Big
Friend Referral — Tell others about ILP and qualify for a $300 discount! Everyone counts — think friends, cousins, roommates. Check the details here or chat to learn more.
Couples Discount — We have several locations with housing available for married couples, but you’ll save a total of $500 with our married discount in Mexico and Uganda.
Split Travel Costs — Even if you apply to volunteer by yourself, you’ll be with new friends! ILP volunteers are assigned to a group, so you have built-in travel buddies. Splitting vacation costs (think taxis, dinner, and hostels) makes it more affordable for everyone.
Take Advantage Of Options
Pay In Full — You’re not required to pay everything when you apply, but if you’re able to pay in full within 3 weeks of being accepted, you’ll receive a $50 discount!
Pay Later — We offer custom payment plans that are flexible and adjust to a timeline that works best for you. The earlier you start, the lower your monthly payments are. Can’t afford it all before the semester starts? Take advantage of third-party services like PayPal Credit and pay after you come home.
