The Experiment in International Living has been offering immersive experiential learning programs abroad since 1932. Today, The Experiment offers 30 high school summer abroad programs in 26 countries. Participants are challenged to explore the host country through hands-on experiences in local communities and through the lens of a specific theme. Currently, the Experiment hosts more than 30 programs in more than 26 countries including:  AFRICA & MIDDLE EAST   ASIA   EUROPE   LATIN AMERICA   NORTH AMERICA   As part of the application process, students must submit a letter (in either English, Spanish, or French, depending on the location of the program) to a prospective host family. The letter and a profile filled out by the applicant are used by the local homestay representative to match students with a family. Students apply online. In 2018, The Experiment and its partner organizations awarded nearly $2 million in scholarships. This support comes from The Experiment’s generous network of alumni, individual donors, foundations, and corporations. The Experiment is committed to providing participants from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds with access to our immersive international programs. Most of The Experiment’s scholarships are need-based, and range from $250 to $2,200.
