Disbursement Details | How to Apply
Description
The Rendezvous travel stipend aims to increase participation at the Earth Educator Rendezvous for individuals facing financial barriers. Stipends are awarded to applicants based on financial need and the potential impact on their professional development.
If your institution has limited resources to support your travel to the Earth Educators' Rendezvous, you may be eligible for assistance from our travel stipend fund. Because our funds are limited, it is unlikely that we will be able to cover all your travel expenses using these funds. We encourage you to first pursue possible sources of funding from your institution or organization, such as your department chair, dean, center for teaching and learning, or other faculty development programs. Please note that stipends may be considered taxable income. Since each situation is unique, we encourage you to consult with your tax advisor.
Stipends are awarded to applicants based on financial need and the potential impact on their participation and only to those that have met the application deadline. Priority will be given to those that have not been the recipient of a previous Rendezvous travel award.
The travel stipend application is due April 17 and recipients will be notified by May 1 (prior to the early registration and cancelation deadline).
Disbursement Details
If you applied for and received approval for a travel stipend, here are the instructions for receiving your stipend.
Awards will be issued after the conference and after the awardees' participation in the Rendezvous is complete and confirmed. Awardees will need to submit travel receipts and provide tax identification information to Carleton College before the award can be issued and no later than August 31, 2024. If you fail to return your completed documentation by this date, you forfeit your stipend. Please allow 4-6 weeks after returning receipts and a W-9 to receive your reimbursement.
If you have questions regarding the stipend awards, please contact Rebeccah Bradley.
