Costs for Student and Recent Grads
Interim's consulting fee is $2100*, a
one-time, non-refundable fee that entitles you to the following:
- Interim's services for a lifetime (one person per fee)
- Access to an unmatched variety of more than 5,600 program options
- Our over twenty years of experience counseling gap-year candidates
- All program information, i.e. catalogs, applications, websites, contacts
- Ongoing review of program options during your chosen time frame
- The option of speaking with Interim alumni and alumnae (now over
5,700 individuals) who have attended gap-year programs in which you are interested
- Follow-up with you on programs you are considering
- Regular and prompt communication with you (phone, email, fax, mail)
- Continuous research on new programs via the Internet, our contacts, and our personal visits
- The option of a sibling rate of $400 less than the usual consulting fee
* Interim offers a limited number of consulting fee scholarships each year.
Program Costs: (covered by candidate) fall into
three basic categories:
- Fee or tuition programs - costs vary widely (e.g. $6,000-$17,000 for small student group programs with leaders that run for three months)
- Volunteer placements - costs for housing and food only (e.g. $600 per month for homestay and 3 meals/day while teaching at a school in Costa Rica)
- Placements that provide housing and food, or at least housing, in exchange for your labor* (e.g. national park work or helping on farms/ranches)
* Please bear in mind that Interim is not a job placement
service. If you need to earn money, your best bet is to work a job at
home and save for your Interim Gap Year.
Miscellaneous Costs: (covered by candidate)
Travel costs, health or travel insurance, and spending money should be factored into your budget.
