USH compensates its host families for every day that a student stays in the family's home. The exact amount for your area will be disclosed once you speak directly to USH about hosting. As rates vary by area, they are not posted on our website. The rates in each area are determined by a few factors: the area you live in, the school your student attends, length of the student's stay, and meal option preference.

Payments are issued on a 4-week or monthly basis, depending on which school your student attends. For example, if your student arrives on December 10, you will receive your first check on or around December 10 and if you are paid every 4 weeks, you will receive another check around January 6 or 7; whereas, if you are paid every month, you will receive your second check around January 10 or 11.

If you have any questions about our payment method or would like to find out how much hosts in your area are compensated, please give our friendly team a call, and we will be glad to help! Or, Click here to contact us.
