Student and Scholar Application

Thank you for your interest in enjoying a brief cultural exchange with a volunteer host family to help you get ready for your time at UCSD. Please understand that a stay with a host family is expected to last 3 to 6 days.

Answer the questions below to help us in matching you with a suitable volunteer family in or around Solana Beach.
If any of your answers change, please come back to this site to fill out the application again, but make sure to make a comment that it is an update to a previous application.
Please apply as soon as possible, as the number of volunteer families are limited. If you apply with less than 3 weeks before your arrival, we may not be able to find a suitable volunteer family.

Thank you for allowing us to share our hospitality and get to know you.
