Payment schedule for tour (w/airfare):
The cost of the tour with airfare is $2,999 for students ($3,499 for accompanying adults) prior to NVYS group fundraising goals and any individual fundraising. The schedule of payments for the tour plus airfare for students is as following:| DATE due to Encore | Amount | Deadline for submitting fundraising to NVYS |
| Upon acceptance to NVYS | $195 | |
| September 19, 2011 | September 13, 2011 | |
| October 19, 2011 | $600 | October 11, 2011 |
| November 19, 2011 | $600 | November 15, 2011 |
| January 19, 2012 | $600 | January 10, 2012 |
| March 19, 2012 | $904 | March 13, 2012 |
Should students do individual fundraising, ALL of this fundraising funds are to be submitted to the NVYS. The NVYS will then make payments on your behalf to Encore Tours. In addition, should the NVYS meet group fundraising goals, there will be additional reductions to this payment schedule.
For instance, let’s suppose a student, in preparation for the January payment deadline has collected $500 in ad sales. If this student has already crossed the $250 threshold (see Tour Financial Overview), all $500 will be attributed to their tour costs. The student then submits the $500 to the NVYS by January 10, 2012, and still owes an additional $100 to Encore Tours by January 19, 2012.
Payment schedule for tour (w/o airfare)
The cost of the tour WITHOUT airfare ("land only") is $1,799 ($2,299 for accompanying adults) prior to group fundraising goals and any individual fundraising.
