Bulls Service Breaks - International

Trip Costs

BSB International trips range in a variety of price tags depending on the location. Students could expect to pay anywhere from $2,000-$3,500 for an International experience. BSB works hard to limit the cost to the student and assists with fundraising opportunity. However, it is up to the student to take initiative and raise their own funding.

Your participant fee covers: airfare, all transportation in country, housing, meals, and excursions. The only out-of-pocket costs you can anticipate while on the trip are meals/snacks while traveling to and from the country and any souvenirs or additional excursions you chose to participate in while in country.

Special Documents/Medical

Depending on the location of the trip, students are asked to have updated travel documents such as a valid US Passport. Certain sites require students to be vacinnated and take additional shots.

Application

To apply for either BSB International Trips participants should apply through the Education Abroad site and will be interviewed by members of the Bulls Service Break program. Once selected, students must complete Education Abroad Pre-Trip Departure Training and the pre-trip BSB Meetings with staff and fellow participants (at a time to be determined by the group).
