May 13 – 15, 2015

TRAVEL SUBSIDY APPLICATION FORM

Conference Reimbursement

Deadline: January 31, 2015

 Travel Subsidy Application Form

CARFMS has limited funds available to help defray the costs of participants who are presenting papers. The funds will be disbursed as fairly as possible depending upon the number of requests. While any participant who is presenting is eligible to apply for funding support, priority will be given to students, independent researchers and NGO representatives.

While participants may be accepted for funding support prior to the conference, we do not reimburse until after the conference and once both the application form and receipts have been forwarded. We cannot guarantee to reimburse more than 10% of reasonable costs (travel, accommodation, and registration only). Participants are expected to seek out the most economical travel and accommodation arrangements. They are also expected to seek other funding. Since we reimburse a percentage of your costs, it is necessary to submit all relevant receipts, including boarding passes for air travel.

Reimbursements will not be provided for applications that do not include the CARFMS Conference registration receipt.

Original hard copy receipts should be sent to the Secretariat at the address below.

Send the completed application form to the CARFMS Secretariat, c/o Centre for Refugee Studies, 8^th Floor, Kaneff Tower, 4700 Keele Street, Toronto, ON M3J 1P3 or email it as an attachment to mmillard@yorku.ca. The deadline for applications is January 31, 2015. Applications post-dated after that date will not be considered.

Successful applicants will be notified about their subsidy by February 20, 2015. Reimbursements will be sent out after the conference.

Receipts must be provided for all expenses claimed.

The CARFMS15 Conference does not provide reimbursements for:

• Fuel costs to and/or from the conference;
• For parking-related expenses; or
• Annual CARFMS membership fees.

Partial reimbursements for accommodation expenses are provided only for dates that correspond with those of the CARFMS15 annual conference.

The Conference does not provide reimbursements for food/beverage/meal related expenses.
