Since we operate out of Ecuador, SVE is able to offer cheaper program fees than other exchange programs.  Our low overhead and operating costs in Ecuador, in combination with fees based on actual costs of living, allow us to provide inexpensive, quality exchange programs.  Why pay 2000 dollars or more for the same service and value.  The prices below are the prices you pay, no hidden costs, application or deposit fees. Refunds will not be given once full payment has been made and/or program has been completed.
