At Nacel, we always try to already offer the best prices to all students, not only to selected students.

We want our students to get the best programs, at the best prices, and we don’t want to lure them into thinking that we offer scholarships while increasing our prices at the same time.

Looking for the cheapest study abroad options? Select a language school program. You may attend language classes in the mornings and live with a host family for one or two weeks for a few hundred dollars.

Homestay immersion abroad is usually also a cheap option and allows a deep cultural and language discovery.

The best value for money for money remains the high school study abroad program: you become bilingual and bicultural within a few months!

Beware of scholarship scams or fake scholarships!

Some people don’t hesitate to use student’s credulity to try to send them fake scholarships. They will tell you that you have won a scholarship but need to pay fees to get it! Beware of scholarship scams! Type “scholarships scam" in the search engine, and you will see that there are many scholarships scams around the world nowadays! Be careful!

Some travel abroad organizations may tell you also that they offer a grant or a scholarship for a student to participate in a summer program. But check their prices first: their prices may be already much higher than the ones offered by others. Beware of “scholarships for everyone” announcements, since it is more likely that you will pay a higher price and get a fake discount!
