As part of the Business of Arts and Culture program,
we provide travel and lodging support to approximately
one half of the participants in each seminar. Travel
support of up to $600 per person is available to qualifying
organizations, unless otherwise noted.
Requesting travel support for seminars in 2010
To receive this assistance, simply answer "yes" to the appropriate question as you complete the 2010 Organization Fellowship application.
If your application is accepted you will receive confirmation of your registration
and travel assistance via email. No further application
is required, and you are free to spend the entire
$600 if needed, within the guidelines defined below.
Who's eligible
Travel assistance is available to organizations operating
outside of the major metropolitan area in which a
seminar is being presented. An organization located in a community where we present seminars is eligible for financial support when traveling to a presentation in a different city.
Please note we can only reimburse participants who are able to attend the entire seminar. If you have any question about whether your schedule will make you ineligible for travel assistance, please contact us before the seminar for clarification.
What's covered, and what's not
Expenses up to the pre-approved amount of $600 per
person will be reimbursed. Expenses over this limit
cannot be reimbursed. Acceptable expenses include
train or air transportation; hotel; rental car; gas,
tolls, and parking; and taxis. Only coach class
airfare can be reimbursed, and a maximum of one rental
car will be reimbursed per team. We reserve the right to refuse
expenses which are excessive compared to typical costs
for travel and lodging for the origination and destination
cities. Please see http://www.gsa.gov
for a general guideline of expenses you may anticipate
in your destination city.
Beginning on January 1, 2010, food and beverage expenses will not be eligible to be reimbursed. Updated forms will be made available in October 2009.
Reimbursement process
Expense reimbursements will be made against your
actual receipts submitted to NAS. Original receipts
for all expenditures must be received within 30 days
following the seminar. Please use the following form
to submit your expenses:
