Travel & Accommodations

The cost of a round-trip flight and a two-night hotel stay will be fully covered for participating students. However, all travel arrangements will follow a set itinerary with no flexibility for alternative plans. For example, our group will depart for New York on March 10th and return to Nashville on March 12th. If you wish to arrive earlier or depart later, you will be responsible for booking your own flight and covering any associated costs. All students traveling on the funded itinerary must adhere to the group travel schedule.
