CDIP Travel GRANT Program CDIP Scholar Development - Travel Guidelines for 2016/2017- General overview Each CDIP Scholar may apply for a maximum of 6 CDIP Travel-Grants. Scholars can submit two applications per year: Summer/Fall Winter/Spring The travel grant funds up to $1,500 for the CDIP Scholar per application and $1,500 for the Faculty Mentor per year. Only complete applications will be considered. In particular, the Collaborative Plan of Support (CPS) of the CDIP application must be included in the travel grant application. Travel grant applications without the CPS will not be considered. Travel Grant Guidelines for 2016/2017 travel support: Air travel For each trip please provide complete dates as well as departure and arrival city/airport information. Make good effort to find reasonably priced flights Book your flights well in advance prior to your travel dates. In 2013 the best time to buy a domestic airline ticket was 54 days in advance, or 7 ½ weeks on average. Ticket price climbs up exponentially within the four weeks of travel. If we can find a flight on the same dates to the same city from your location for significantly less than you budgeted, you will be reimbursed for the lesser amount. Travel Grant Guidelines for 2016/2017 travel support: ground travel For each trip please provide complete dates as well as departure and arrival city information. Only mileage is reimbursed. Reimbursement is according to CSU travel regulations and rates. Current mileage rates are set to .54 cents per mile. If air travel is cheaper than ground travel, we will pay only for the cost of air travel. Maximum ground transportation compensation is $150.
