EEB Travel Award Reimbursement

EEB Student Travel Reimbursement Guidelines
Reimbursements are made using State funds per New York State Reimbursement Guidelines.

Students attending conferences, workshops, etc. must save all receipts and submit original receipts for reimbursement. After receipts are submitted, staff will prepare a travel voucher and/or mileage statement and request the student’s signature on the forms.

Items needed for travel reimbursements:

Copy of the conference or workshop announcement showing the title, dates and where it is held.
Student person number.
Student home address.
Student email address (to ask questions if necessary).

Food Per-Diems:

Per–diem rates are based on the city in which you stayed. A hotel bill is required to receive these standard rates.
