Throughout the exchange, participants stay in regular contact with the organizers who provide spiritual support as needed. To date, more than 30 Nazaretanki students have benefited from the scholarship. Recruitment happens annually around October–November and considers grades, teacher recommendations, the principal's endorsement, and the parish priest's input. After selection, students receive information about the chosen U.S. high school and the corresponding host family. Detailed information on costs is available at the Global Outreach program site.
