Students traveling to campus can apply for reimbursement of up to $500 per academic term.

Any student who is currently enrolled in a degree or certificate program at Phillips, lives at least 100 miles (round trip) from campus, and who is in good academic standing may apply to the Business Office for a travel grant to offset transportation and lodging expenses.  Any funds awarded must be used while the student is enrolled in a degree or certificate program at the seminary. 

Funds may be used for travel, lodging, and meal expenses incurred as a direct result of the student’s progress toward degree completion. Please note: Immersion courses are not eligible for Travel Grant reimbursement. 

A student may apply for up to $500 per academic term.  A student may not receive more than $1500 in travel grants within an academic year. Maximum allowances for particular items are as follows: 

·     Lodging- $100 per night, including tax.  Additional expenses charged to a hotel room such as movies, snacks, and drinks are not reimbursable 

·     Fuel- the reimbursement rate if driving one’s own car shall be based upon receipts provided for fuel purchase during the dates of travel for which the grant is approved.  Total travel (round trip) must be greater than 100 miles.

·     Airfare- receipts for airline tickets are still subject to the $500 per term grant limit
