Negotiating Travel Stipends?

Post by Manteca » Thu Apr 03, 2014 2:32 pm

Just wondering if anyone has any success negotiating travel stipends for ASWs. I'm from British Columbia (and thus far away from any school outside of WA), and the $150-200 stipends will not cover anything close to the cost of travel to some schools I would like to visit (Chicago, Denver, and San Francisco for example).

I've had success receiving one from Notre Dame. They are covering me up to $500. I would write a letter to admissions expressing your interest in visiting and your meager finances.

Indiana Maurer originally offered to pay $350 for flight and $120 for hotel. I wrote to them and explained how expensive it would be for me to fly from where I live in Georgia and they completely took the reimbursement cap off for me.
