Money Matters

The majority of gap year placements that are arranged by gap year providers, whether or not they are members of Year Out Group, require you to raise money to fund your placement and any other independent travelling or activities you have in mind.  The amount you have to raise will depend on the nature of the activity, the length of the placement, the destination, the gap year provider and any activities you plan during time off from the placement.

The aim of this section is to help you:

• Gap Year Costs. Work out the overall cost and decide what is the best value for money.  
• Plan your Fundraising.
• Decide how best to manage your money whilst overseas.  (This section to follow).
