In most clubs and districts, students do not pay placement fees, so those with financial constraints can share the exchange experience.
分攤安置費用的是寄宿家庭（支付食宿費用）、寄宿社區（支付學費及其他安排）和接待扶輪社（每個月提供大約美金$50-100的小額津貼）
Sharing in the costs are host families (who pay for room and board), the host community (who cover school tuition and arrangements) and host Rotary club (who offer a small stipend of usually US$50-100 monthly.)
