At the moment of applying we will ask you for an application
fee of 50 USD
(for applicants already in Chile: 100 USD). This
amount is considered part of the whole program costs
and will be deducted from the balance once you accept
a position and pay the program.
If we do not offer you an internship
in the desired area within 10 weeks (counting from the
moment we receive the application fee), we will restore
the application fee to you (deducting transfer costs).
If you withdraw your application within these 10 weeks
or if you do not accept an internship offer, there will
be no right to refund.
Once accepted the placement, we will ask you for a reservation
deposit of 220 USD.
The balance of the complete program costs is due at
least two weeks before your arrival.
