Stipend figures are ranges, not promises
Any stipend or reimbursement figure on HostFamilyMatch comes from the exchange program's own published information and is rechecked regularly. Many host family placements are volunteer and pay no stipend at all.
What changes what you receive
Whether a stipend is offered, and how much, depends on the program, the placement type, your state, and the student. Programs set and change these terms. Hosting is a commitment to a student, not a job, and should not be chosen for the money.
We are not the exchange program
HostFamilyMatch is an independent matching guide. We do not place students or decide who can host. Always confirm terms directly with the program before you commit. Some programs credit us when we introduce a family. That never changes what you receive. See how we make money.
