Plan Ahead: Please keep track of miles traveled, lodging receipts, and number of meals per day.  You will be required to provide this information upon reimbursement request.  Carpooling and shared lodging is encouraged.

Reimbursement Rates

Mileage: $0.67/mile. Mileage is calculated from the student's home campus to/from the city of the clinical site.     

Lodging: up to $107/night (the state rate) + tax. Receipts are required. Please book through the hotel directly and request a state/government rate. If you are unable to find a hotel at this rate, please reach out and we can work to find a solution for you. When sharing lodging, only the student who has a paid receipt in their name should request reimbursement. Students should work out shared expense between each other.

Meals: Breakfast (leave before 7 AM)- $8.25 / Lunch (leave before 12 PM/return after 1 PM)- $9.25 / Dinner (return after 6 PM)- $16 (the state rate)
