Things are falling into place quickly as the beginning of the semester approaches. We'll have an official flyer in a few days, but here's what I can tell you now (subject to finalization but it's fairly firm already). The cost of our tour, including round trip airfare from Houston, accommodations, tips, entry fees, meals (except one dinner), ground transportation, visa support and registration, etc. (see my previous post on what's included) is $3,450.
You will be able to secure a spot in early September with a deposit of $450. Then there will be a series of roughly equal monthly installments between then and the beginning of March, when you will need to be all paid up. Of course, you can pay earlier if you like. I'll have more information soon regarding the refundability schedule and the other fine print.
If you want to get on my list now, I'll make sure you get a chance to put down your deposit first-come, first-served once we get into September. We haven't run the trip to Russia before, and we are hoping the spots go quickly! Just send me an email at [email protected] or use the form on this page.
One more thing...
Don't forget to apply for IEFS scholarships, use travel funds you may have received with your scholarship package, and apply for outside funds. There may be additional scholarships for Honors College students, depending on availability of funds and individual eligibility.
