How to sign up?
The easiest way to apply is to visit our website and click the "Apply now" button. You will then receive more information on how to book a personal interview with us. Your application is not binding, and you make your final decision once you have been accepted.
What's the application process like?
The application process is divided into several steps. You start by making an application. Then we have a free interview. If you are accepted, we will proceed with your application and you will have to sign a contract, fill in a larger application, write a letter and obtain copies of grades and other certificates.
When do I have to apply?
We recommend that you apply nice and early to secure your spot. The earlier you register the better, to allow plenty of time for the right host family to be located for you. Our recommendation is to apply well in advance, preferably one year before you plan to leave, to be guaranteed a spot. Of course, you can also apply at a later date, but no later than the end of April. A late application may also be subject to an additional fee.
How does STS prepare me?
You will be invited to both a departure meeting before you leave for your exchange year and a Welcome Camp right at the beginning of your exchange year. In addition, you will receive a handbook and we will have contact several times before you leave.
Can I choose where I will live during my year?
Yes, in some of our host countries you can state in your application that you wish to be placed in a certain region or city. There will be an additional fee if you get the placement you wished for.
How much pocket money do I need?
We recommend that you have at least USD 400/EUR 400 per month of pocket money. Be prepared that at the beginning of your stay, you may need more than this because you may need to buy books, bus passes, phone cards and more.
