When it says the travel cost is paid, is that the total amount for any type of travel — bus, train, airplane, or driving from my home school?
The program provides reimbursement of up to $500 for the cost of travel to and from LSU. All travel plans must be approved by LSU travel for the program to be able to reimburse you. If you prefer to take an airplane, we will book the round trip ticket for you. To qualify for air travel you must request approval from the REU Coordinator, ktraxler -at- cct dot lsu dot edu. For other travel types such as train, bus or driving, we will reimburse you up to $500 for the round trip. Students must have all travel plans approved ahead of time, and present receipts detailing their travel expenses within two weeks of the date of travel and no later than August 15, 2011 for the return trip. Mileage will be reimbursed at the LA state rate for driving.
