my brother just came back from a six week visit in japan on a yfu shcolarship. it cost him my parents $2000 to send him, but it was worth it. to apply for a scholarship, you go to the website and give them your information. then they'll let you know if you can go or not. you could also try afs, but i don't know how much they charge, sorry. hope i could help!

There are two types of schools: Short term courses lasting 2-8 weeks. A full school year. I will certainly recommend you to ask for prices at local agencies, so you don't end up in problems with various custom and immigration departments. Those shorter courses range in price from 2-4000 dollars. Be very clear about the language you want to study. There is a lot of difference between speaking Dutch and English. If you want to get some advices how to finance the trip some I have known have been successful by approaching the local Round Table chapter, when they attended business schools.
