The actual funds and grants available fluctuate with the
exchange rate.

Subsidies are restricted to one teacher per school, even if the group consists of twenty or more students. One accompanying teacher receives seventy-five percent (75%) of his/her pre-tax plane fare from GAPP funds. One adult must travel with the group at all times.
Group grant
The group grant depends on the air fare and the number of students traveling ($55-$105/student). Please check our grant application package (forthcoming in December) for more information.
