GSA will fund conference expenses related to travel, lodging, conference registration, and meals. Expenses not funded include (but are not limited to) items such as souvenirs and sightseeing costs. If you have a question about the acceptability of a certain expense, please contact your GSA representative or the GSA office.
TRAVEL. If you are flying to your destination, you will need to save your boarding passes, along with receipt, in order to get the cost of your airfare reimbursed. If you are driving to your destination, you may request reimbursement for either gas (receipts required) or for mileage at a rate set by the university.
LODGING. If you are sharing a room with other SLU graduate/professional students, one person must submit the original receipt. Everyone else can submit a copy with their paperwork. However, on each hotel receipt, it must indicate who shared the room and who is turning in the original receipt. Funding requests will not be processed until the paperwork containing the original receipt is turned in.
REGISTRATION. GSA does not cover membership dues to academic societies or associations. Only registration fees will be reimbursed.
MEALS. GSA does not fund meals on a per diem rate. Receipts are required for any meals purchased during conference travel, even if you are being funded by an additional source which does reimburse per diem. |
