When is the Application Deadline?
SPI accepts applications on a rolling basis. Our regular summer programs have an early deadline (to lock in the lowest prices of the year) and a regular deadline which is March 15. You may still apply after this date as we will enroll students up to two weeks prior to departure based on available space. Custom programs operated by SPI outside of summer months have different due dates which are listed on your program’s webpage. Apply Now!
When will I be Accepted?
You will be notified by email within 5-7 business days. If you are not accepted, you will be issued a full refund for the deposit.
What Happens after I am Accepted?
You will be sent an email confirmation as well as a complete orientation packet in the mail. This is the only print materials and invoice you will receive from SPI. Please read these materials thoroughly. You will be responsible for making payments on-time and providing SPI with the necessary supplemental documents. You will then receive pre-departure emails and updates prior to departure.
Is there a Payment Plan?
Yes, the SPI Payment Plan is easy and flexible. Our standard payment plan requires a $1,000 deposit (this counts toward the program price.) You then have the flexibility of making periodic payments or one final payment prior to the payment deadline. All we ask is that you pay in full by the payment deadline. We offer a deferred payment plan for families needing an extension. View deferred payment plan. Your remaining balance is due on the date listed on the Apply Page or for custom programs on the date specified in your acceptance email.
How do I Cancel Participation?
Please notify SPI as soon as possible. You will be subject to the refund terms as listed under our Cancellation & Refund Policy. Airfare is non-refundable by SPI for any reason.
