We are now accepting applications for the 2026/2027 school year and beyond for students interested in joining our cultural exchange program for either one semester or a full academic year. We support both J‑1 and F‑1 visa students.
​
For those wishing to begin in the Fall semester, we strongly recommend applying as early as possible. The application deadline is always March 15 of the same year. For example, students hoping to start in Fall 2026 must apply by March 15, 2026.
Applying early is highly encouraged, as it allows students to complete their documents on time and gives ARISE USA enough time to begin the host family and school placement process.

The following forms must be completed online to begin the application process. An application fee of $200 must be paid by credit card before your application will be reviewed.
