Bringing Equity to Student Immersion Travel

Xperitas is a nonprofit educational organization committed to making our short-term immersion travel programs accessible to as many students as possible. We provide meaningful financial aid on a “needs based” sliding scale to create equitable access. Over the past decade we have dedicated over a million dollars to financial aid, scholarship and classroom grant programs.

The chart below is a guideline for financial aid eligibility. The minimum award is 15% of the program cost, and the maximum is 60% of the program cost. Award amounts will vary depending on the following conditions:

  • Amount available in the fund
  • Number of applicants eligible for financial aid
  • Number of dependents in applicant's household

Participants whose families have a household income of $60,000 or less are eligible.
