Application Deadlines 3

Keep in mind each program has a different application deadline.  The deadline applies to the receipt of the full application and not the Enrollment Form.  The Enrollment Form needs to be completed and received by the Main Office at least two weeks prior to the application deadline. The application deadline for the Academic Year program is June 30th.  After this dates applicants who wish to participate in the program should include a late fee of $450 (the late fee will be fully reimbursed if the student is unable to be placed in the time remaining.)

How to get Started 4

If you meet the requirements for the program in which you would like to participate, you need to complete the online Enrollment Form.  Once your completed Enrollment Form is received, you will be sent a full application and more information about the program of your choice.  The completed application must be received in our Main Office by the deadline date, June 30th.  Once your application is reviewed by the Two Worlds United Organization and you are found to meet all program requirements, arrangements will be made for an interview with an Area Representative in your area.
