Gotoco

support if you are eligible for grant funding

We’re here to help make your trip as affordable as possible.

UK resident participants on our programmes will usually get full funding! This applies to all citizens or non-citizen legal residents of the UK (e.g those on student visas)

We are also able to offer deposit discounts and cash bonuses to those that join us as Campus Ambassadors and attract 10 others to join our programmes. If you are interested in this, please check out and apply through the links on this page, and we will then send you more information on how you can spread the word and ensure you receive extra funding. 

What we provide



  • Funded/Free service! Free means we refuse to charge participants any direct fees upfront, instead we ensure funding for programmes is arranged via universities, government grants or local hosts


  • Roundtrip airfare to/from destination. Occasionally this is also funded​


  • Funded TEFL training and certification (type varies by programme)


  • Funded bedroom and meals throughout your programme


  • Funded guidance on applying for a visa and booking flights


  • Funded 24/7 support throughout your time with us


  • Funded post-programme support for job references and career opportunities


  • Funded placement service


  • Funded medical insurance


  • Funded visa costs

What you need to fund



  • Pre-departure immunisation costs and general travel insurance


  • Background and criminal records check (e.g basic DBS £18 for UK applicants)


  • Refundable deposit, returned to you upon successful completion of your programme. We ask for £100 when you are invited to join our programme, with another £100 once your exact placement is confirmed


  • Personal costs for extra meals/drinks/travel during your trip; see estimated costs for these in our FAQs: www.go-to.co/faqs


  • If you come from a UK Widening Participation background, the first two items above are also funded.

support for those without grant funding?

If you aren't eligible for our funding, we still offer lots of benefits!

Here at Gotoco, we don’t believe in charging students upfront fees to travel and join fun, engaging projects. We provide all of our support and platform to you for free and offer lots of funded benefits to make sure you can get the most out of your trip. Free means that we only offer programmes that have upfront costs to cover when we have pre-arranged funding via university, government or local partner grants.
