Paying For Your Trip
EF Payment Plans
EF offers three payment plans for travelers. The amounts of each installment depend on how far in advance the traveler is enrolled on the trip.
Bi-Weekly Payments
Automatic payments; installments will be taken every other week.
Monthly Payments
Automatic payments; installments will be taken every month - you can contact the EF support team if you prefer the payments to occur on a particular day of the month.
Manual Payments
This plan allows you to make payments of any amount at any time. This plan is recommended for families who are expecting large amounts of tax credit donations. Selecting this option will incur higher up-front costs; to circumvent this, you can either enroll on an Automatic plan and then switch to Manual, or enroll over the phone through the EF Customer Service line and they'll drop the up-front costs.

EF's Built-In Donation Page
Every student's EF Account comes with a built-in donation page, similar to GoFundMe, that can be shared to gather direct contributions to the student's account. This feature allows students to fundraise from anyone, anywhere.

Arizona Tax Credits
AZ Tax Credits allow Arizona taxpayers to receive refunds for contributions to educational programs. This process involves some extra steps, but many of our students have their trips paid for by Tax Credit donations.
Individual tax filers can be refunded up to $200 per year; joint filers can be refunded up to $400 per year. You do not need to contribute all 200/400 in one go. You could, for example, contribute $33 per month to hit $400 annually!
All Arizona taxpayers are eligible for this Tax Credit.

Employer Matching Contributions
Employer-Match contributions are allowed, but it is the responsibility of the individual to work with their company and ensure the contribution comes to the UHS Travel Club in time to be added to your traveler's account.
