Sister Cities of Nashville currently maintains high school exchanges with Caen, France; Magdeburg, Germany; Mendoza, Argentina, Taiyuan, China and Tamworth, Australia. Apply to travel with Sister Cities here. The exchanges typically bring students to Nashville for two weeks during the regular school year and send Nashville-area students abroad for approximately the same length of time during the summer. Students stay with local families and usually attend some school as well as enjoy sightseeing and other cultural activities. A chaperone accompanies the exchange students to their destination. Travel Costs The student is required to pay a $300 application fee and is responsible for the cost of airfare to the destination city. We suggest the students bring an additional $200 for incidentals, souvenirs, some meals. Some of the trips require an additional stipend for special overnight activities (which can range from $250 to $400). For complete Financial Information and Payment Schedule, please click here. Many deserving students are not able to participate unless they receive financial assistance. Please consider making a contribution to SCN's Student Scholarship Fund to help all students have this incredible cultural and educational experience. |
