Answer 1

Hi there,

We are a host family outside of Philadelphia for a high school student. To my knowledge, when you host an exchange student through a reputable US agency, there is no payment ever to the host family. Host families are volunteers. The students come with their own pocket money, but it's the host families who provide, for free, a roof over the heads of these students as well as meals. Host families are interviewed and questioned to ensure that by taking in a student, they will not be putting their own families in jeopardy from a financial perspective.

As for an exchange student at the college level, you might be able to rent out your unit as you would to any other student. You might want to contact your local college or college newspaper for more information if that's what you're interested in.

I hope this answers your question.

Answer 2

If you are looking to host a high school student, you don't get paid AND a separate rental unit would be considered unsuitable. Part of the role of a host family is to provide supervision.

If you wish to host a college level student, contact the International Student Center at any local college or university.
