    The 正澳门六合彩开奖结果 Honors College SAGA Program will pay a stipend to reimburse airfare costs associated with travel to and from the approved education abroad destination. The stipend for airfare costs will not exceed the amounts determined by average airfare for particular regions. There will be a one-time determination of the maximum amount reimbursable based upon this average airfare. These amounts are listed above and updated annually.

    For reimbursement, the Honors College will need proof of acceptance into your study abroad program, your SAGA acceptance letter, and your airfare receipt that clearly shows it鈥檚 been paid. If you are working with a travel agency, you will need to request an itemized receipt that shows the amount of airfare and that it鈥檚 been paid.

    Students will be reimbursed at the beginning of the semester in which they travel.

    If a student wants to extend his or her time abroad and/or wants to arrive at or depart from a different location, students can request permission from the 正澳门六合彩开奖结果 Honors College to do so. If approved, the stipend will not exceed the original amounts determined by average airfare. The student is responsible for any additional costs incurred from extending/changing their travel itinerary.

    正澳门六合彩开奖结果 and the Honors College are not responsible for arranging any of the travel details and/or activities of the students before, during, or after the designated dates of the education abroad program.

    Finally, any travel before or after the scheduled dates of the education abroad program or any alteration of the itinerary is at the discretion of the traveler. Students will also have to assess and manage the risks involved in extending their stay and will have to arrange on their own travel health insurance for the extended time abroad.

    The student is completely responsible for all arrangements for the trip. The 正澳门六合彩开奖结果 Office of Study Abroad will inform the student of cost of 正澳门六合彩开奖结果 application fee and the cost for the required travel health insurance and risk management for the designated time of the education abroad program. The student will be responsible for these expenses. If student wants insurance to cover extra time abroad, the student must make his or her own arrangements.

     

    Example:

    Education Abroad Program through a 正澳门六合彩开奖结果 or affiliate program in Paris, France, with dates from May 10 to May 25. This trip is the main destination.

    At the close of this program, the student then wants to travel to Berlin, Germany, on May 26 and return to the U.S. from this second location on June 1. The student must pay all costs for the Berlin portion of the trip. However, the Honors SAGA funding can be applied to the return trip for an amount that does not exceed the cost of returning from the main destination (Paris). Suppose it costs $500 for 2 one-way flights to and from Paris, France. If the student chooses to return from Berlin, Germany, and the cost of this return trip is $700, the Honors College will reimburse only up to the $500 that a flight from the main destination would have cost. In other words, the total amount the student is eligible for, in this case, would be $1000.
