Everything Honorarium
This page is your quick-reference guide to everything related to the Honorarium—summarizing how and when hosts are compensated, along with important changes and updates for this year.
Hosting an international student is both a meaningful commitment and a rewarding opportunity. Each month, students pay $1,100 specifically to cover the costs of living with a host family. These funds are held in trust by our program to ensure every student’s accommodation fees are distributed fairly and transparently to our dedicated hosts. The honorarium helps with extra groceries, household expenses, and daily living costs that come with welcoming a new member into your family. It isn’t designed to replace your main income, but to support you in providing a safe and caring environment.
For exact payment dates, amounts, or further details, check the schedule below or get in touch with our team. We’re always here to ensure the honorarium process remains smooth, transparent, and supportive for everyone involved.
