Tour payments

EF's Monthly Payment Plan is the worry-free way to finance your Smithsonian Student Travel tour. There's no need to keep track of deadlines, no late fees and no hassle. Plus, you can extend your final payment due date!

How does it work?

After we've received your enrollment deposit, we devide your remaining tour balance into manageable payments that are automatically deducted from your credit/debit card or checking account on the 26th of each month. The earlier you're enrolled, the smaller your monthly payments. It's that easy!

What are the benefits?

  • FREE enrollment
  • No late fees
  • No deadlines to remember
  • Smaller, more manageable payments
  • Ability to pay over time
  • Flexibility to extend your final payment due date up to 35 days before your tour*
  • View and manage your account anytime online

 

How do students and parents enroll?

Due to the popularity of EF's Monthly Payment Plan, all travelers are automatically enrolled. If you have elected to opt-out of the monthly payment plan, you may re-enroll by logging in or calling our customer service team at 1.888.333.9756.
