How does per diem work?
You will be provided with per diem while you are in the U.S. This includes $64 U.S. per day for meals, and $31.50 U.S. per day for local travel (subway, taxis, etc.). This money will be given to you in two checks (or travelers checks). The first check will be cashed on the first full day of your visit or the first business day, whichever is first. The second check will be cashed at the beginning of the second week of the program.
