scholarships
Viator Foundation works for social and cultural development; therefore, we devote part of our funds to help students who are interested in taking our courses but cannot afford them. Any student who cannot pay the total amount corresponding to any program may apply for financial assistance and/or a scholarship, filling up the Application and Financial Aid form. Viator Foundation will grant such assistance after carefully considering each application according to funds availability. Scholarships and financial assistance are mainly devoted to students coming from developing countries. In no case, full scholarships will be granted and under no circumstances can we provide funds for traveling. We encourage students to find outside funding and we can provide a letter of support for you.  Please consult your home university for funding opportunities. A large percentage of participants receive funding from their home universities to attend our program.

other financial aid
Some students have arranged financing from private sponsors, such as organizations with interests in the international arena. Students may choose to consult Peterson's Financial Resources for International Study or similar guides to organizations that offer economic help. Students may also independently investigate potential sources of financial assistance. You may be able to find additional information at the following website: www.finaid.org

health care
The health care system in Argentina provides basic universal health care for all. However, it is mandatory obtaining travel health insurance and it is highly recommended that students bring a copy of their own medical records.
