I understand that this budget estimates one calendar year of expenses and is subject to unexpected increases, including program fee
and insurance cost increases after my first program year. I also understand that Spirit Annual Program Fees and Medical Insurance Fees
for both my J-2 dependents and me will need to be paid to Spirit each year when I renew my program. These fees will be due as part of
the Program Renewal/Extension process each spring.
I agree to the fee terms and budget listed above as a participant in Spirit’s Teacher Program in the USA. If net total program income is
negative, I confirm that I have the equivalent funds available to me and will provide a Bank Statement showing I am able to support
myself and any dependents while in the U.S.
