SCCE is a not-for-profit organisation, therefore our fees reflect the actual costs of the program. All key program components are covered including:  - Return economy airfares from your nearest capital city with a reputable carrier. Please note that a flight surcharge may be applied to all applications. We reserve the right to increase the flight surcharge if, at the time of making flight bookings, airlines are charging a higher amount for flight prices. If there is no increase made to flight prices, then we will not charge a flight surcharge.  - Travel to and from your host community at the beginning and the end of the program – this may be a domestic flight, bus or rail transfer.    - Full comprehensive medical, hospital, health, accident, baggage, cancellation, personal liability & travel insurance.
