In response to a query, the ROTARY YOUTH EXCHANGE representative stated. "The academic year immediately following high school graduation and before starting in college or university study is referred to as a "gap year." Suppose you are a high school senior and graduate in the spring of 2019. In that case, you are still eligible to participate in Rotary International's study abroad program as long as your age will not have risen to more than 19 by the time you depart following graduation."

ROTARY YOUTH EXCHANGE's programs are designed as a complement to students already attending university in the U.S. and abroad, especially in areas that may not offer study abroad possibilities; these opportunities will provide students with experiences that will enable them to make personal relationships in new cultures, explore their own cultural identity, experience the realities of global poverty, and develop a deeper appreciation for our planet. If you are trying to find out the cost for foreign exchange student programs you should visit the official website of ROTARY YOUTH EXCHANGE for details.

The representative continued, "Many students take a gap year and travel overseas with other high school exchange students. Due to the need for student visas for these student exchange programs, they must still complete high school in the host nation. Programs for kids spending a gap year abroad are much less demanding."
