Instructions for Outbound Students
STEP by STEP
1) Make sure you and your parents agree to the exchange
2) Contact a local Rotary Club and tell them of your
plans and ask them to sponsor you. Tell them that the sponsor club will
need to accept the responsibility of hosting an Inbound Student. (The
club may transfer that responsibility to any other local Rotary Club
willing to accept the Inbound Student)
3) Go to the website and download the Application and
the Country Preference Form
Application Form
Country Preference
Form
4) Fill out the application by hand (Trail Basis)
5) Once you are satisfied
with your answers, go to the website and fill out the application on line
and print 4 copies.
6)
Get all signatures (Including DOCTORS) in
BLUE
ink. (Bring a
BLUE
ink pen with you in case they don't have one
available.)
7) Make sure pictures fit in the spaces provided. You
can make up one sheet with the original photos and color photocopy the
other three sheets.
8) Have a teacher or
administrator at your school fill out the Confidential form and have
THE TEACHER send it directly to:
Paul Reagan
PO Box 1303
Fayetteville, AR 72702-1303
(Remember to put a stamp on the envelope and address the envelope for your
school teacher or administrator to use.)
Forms relayed by students or their parents will not be accepted.
9) VERY IMPORTANT :
Along with
your parents, seek 3 families who agree in writing to host
a student. It is not acceptable to have someone fill out the form to
help you, if they have no intention of hosting. Those who signed the
form will be expected to host. Create a sheet on which you provide
contact information for those three families. Turn that sheet in to the
local Rotary club, who will have to interview the families to make sure
that they qualify. Note: Rotary will contact the families on your list
to ascertain if they are willing potential hosts. Having three willing
hosts is a requirement to have completed the application process.
Potential Host Family Form
10) Turn in to your sponsoring club the following:
(before Nov 1
st
)
a. 4 original copies of your application
b. Completed Country Preference Form
c. Check for $200. That money will cover the costs of the Outbound
Interview weekend held the 1st weekend in December.
d. List of the 3 host families, giving full contact information and
school district that you have found for a student coming to your town.
11) The club will convene an
interview panel to interview you and your parents. If the club approves
you, your application will be forwarded to the District and you will be
contacted regarding the final weekend of interviews. If the club does
not approve you, the application fee will be fully refunded. If you are
turned down at the District Interviews, there is no refund of the
application fee, unfortunately. That fee is spent conducting the
weekend interviews.
Best wishes
