Frequently Asked Questions

 

If I am selected to participate in Study Abroad or Domestic Study Travel Program, what type of compensation will I receive?

 

If selected, you will receive an honorarium of $1,500 to cover all pre-departure planning as outlined in previous pages. Once sufficient participants have enrolled, a contract will be developed with the Workforce and Community Development Center to cover on-site program instruction. If there are sufficient students, program expenses, as budgeted, will be paid including airfare, accommodations, meal stipend, ground transportation, admissions, and other related costs.

 

 

When IÕm not in class or on an excursion with students, arenÕt I free to do as I please?

 

Yes and no. If there are no problems or issues, you may find you actually have some free time. Such occasions are few and far between. You will mostly find yourself occupied with student issues or you may be planning the schedule and making arrangements for the days ahead.

 

 

Can family members, friends or guests come along?

 

We discourage family members, friends, or guests from coming along due to the short duration of the program and because of the many responsibilities of the faculty leaders. The College will NOT reimburse faculty for expenses incurred by family members, guests or friends.

 

 

If selected, what will be my responsibilities before, during and after the study travel program?

 

Your responsibilities have been outlined in the previous pages of this document. They will also be outlined when you receive your honorarium and in the contract prepared by the Workforce and Community Development Center.

 

 

If IÕm not selected, what alternatives can I explore?

 

If you are not selected, please speak with the Center staff. They have some other options for you to explore. Of course, you are welcome to resubmit your proposal in subsequent years.
