Parents are responsible for any charges incurred beyond the deposit. Refunds are forwarded after a full accounting is received by the University Housing Offices, usually by the end of September.
 
International Students: Visas and Payment Procedure

Students and their families are responsible for obtaining any required Visas. Due to the brief period of time of the program, international students should obtain a short stay TOURIST visa, (not a STUDENT visa), from the American Embassy or Consulate in their home country. A WORK visa (J-1) is NOT required.

All international payments must be made as follows (credit cards are only accepted for the initial $1,795 deposit - $95 Application Fee, $200 International Registration Fee, and $1500 Program Deposit. Email yes@summerdiscovery.com to request credit card authorization form.):

1. By check drawn on a US bank in US funds payable to Discovery Internships, LLC.  (i.e. international money order) or
2. By wire transfer

Bank charges incurred are the responsibility of the student/parent. DISCOVERY INTERNSHIPS will credit only the actual payment in US dollars credited to Discovery Internship, LLC by JP Morgan Chase Bank.

International Students may postpone forwarding the $95 Application Fee and instead remit $1795 ($95 Application Fee, $200 International Registration Fee, and $1500 Program Deposit) upon acceptance to the program.

Special Note: All international students living outside North America and attending a program in the USA, will be invoiced a non-refundable $200 International Registration Fee which includes health/medical insurance coverage (with deductible) while attending MDP, international courier fees, and airport meet and assist/airport transfers in the US.
