How will you be managing the travel awards?

Travel awards will be up to $350. Consideration towards necessary travel will be considered on a case-by-case basis with selected participants when determining awarded amount. Please remember, in addition to potentially receiving a travel award, participants will be provided lodging.


How many nights are provided in my stay in Ann Arbor?

We will work with selected participants to better understand their travel plans and work with individuals regarding which nights to plan to reserve a hotel room: September 19th and 20th.


Are there meals and/or financial obligations I should expect during my visit?

We will be providing on-campus meals for selected participants. Please refer to the schedule for identified meals. In addition, we will be providing dinner on Friday, September 20th in Ann Arbor, and on-ground transportation to identified locations in the schedule will be arranged too. All other financial matters when visiting will be the responsibility of the participants.

We will be leading a series of topics during the workshop, and encourage selected participants to bring draft versions of their application materials, if available. There will be dedicated time for individual feedback.
