Travel Stipend?

[cassini007]

Is it a common practice for schools to pay for your visit? So far, I received a $200 stipend from Case Western Law, but from no other schools that I've gotten in to.

Are any other schools so generous to cover at least a portion of your expenses?

Off the top of my head, I know Boalt, Cornell, Cardozo, and Lewis & Clark offer travel stipends. I'm sure other schools do too.

You might try requesting a travel stipend even if a school doesn't offer it outright. I've heard of folks doing this successfully.

Duke covers I think $250 of the plane ticket. 'Fraid that's all I know.

W&L reimburses up to $200 and puts you up in a room.
Minnesota reimburses up to $200 if you matriculate

You can always call and ask...say you want to visit the school but are concerned about the costs involved.

Tulane..

"As encouragement to attend one of our Visiting Day programs, we will help pay for your transportation expenses. If you come to one of our Visiting Day programs, we will reimburse you the smaller of your airfare or $300, upon presentation of your electronic ticket receipt and boarding passes. If you travel here by automobile instead, we will reimburse your mileage at the prevailing federal rate, currently $.445 per mile, also to a maximum of $300.

I thought the packet I saw said $200 in state, $400 out of state...

Only to select applicants with high #'s.. I asked and was told there's no way to apply for the stipend, you would receive a letter if selected.

I live in the state of Texas, and they offered a $200 travel stipend.

Considering I know of people who got a higher scholarship and didn't get a travel stipend, I don't know that it has to do with numbers.

People who have done this, what is the best method call, email, write a letter with little ink blotches from where my tears have fallen?

[romothesavior]

Anybody know anything about Cornell's travel stipend? I applied for it, but judging from some former threads, it sounds like they are stingy with their stipend money. Anybody gotten a stipend from them?

[sarlis]

MSU does

I got $200 from Bayloar after I sent them my FAFSA report.

Is it the same Stipend for International Students, meaning do they have a flat reimbursement? I'll be coming from Ireland.

[romothesavior]

How does Vanderbilt's travel stipend work? Is it need based, distance based, etc?
