Other sources of Finance
Many Universities and Colleges are now providing funding and assistance for this programme. We suggest you contact your International Office, School/College Office and Careers Office for advice in the first instance. Students have in the past also obtained funding from local newspapers, local councils and local businesses, sometimes in exchange for writing an article after the event.

Spending Money
We recommend about £200-300 spending money, more if you intend to shop or eat out in Western style restaurants and bars.
