Relocation Travel

The DMP program covers the cost (up to a maximum of $500) for the student to relocate to/from the mentor's institution, if different from the student's institution, at the beginning and end of the mentorship. This page describes the procedures that must be followed in order to be reimbursed. Read them carefully.

By Airplane

Arrangements for the student's relocation travel to the mentor's institution, if different from the student's institution, must be made through:

  • Uniglobe Democracy Travel
    3408 Wisconsin Avenue NW
    Suite 210
    Washington, DC 20016
  • Tel: 1-866-557-9968 (toll free)
    Tel: 202-965-7200
    Fax: 202-478-0866
  • Contacts: Jean or Heather

  • Code: Mentor08

The agency is familiar with the DMP program and they will be informed of the students whose signed Letters of Agreement formalizing their participation in the DMP have been received by the CRA. You can check to see when your Letter of Agreement is received by logging into the DMP Participant's site. (It may take the travel agency a day or two to get this information.) The travel agents will assist in selecting, booking, and delivering a student's travel tickets. CRA will handle the billing of a student's tickets. STUDENTS SHOULD NOT CHARGE TICKETS TO THEIR OWN CREDIT CARDS. Any special travel arrangements, other than using Uniglobe Democracy Travel, will need to be approved by CRA in advance.

In order to stretch the DMP travel budget to maximize the support we can allocate for conference travel by DMP students, all students should always make arrangements for the most efficient and least expensive travel. If a student knows the exact length of her stay, she should arrange for a round-trip, early purchase fare. Uniglobe Democracy Travel will not book first-class or business-class tickets.

By Car

If a student relocates via car and wishes to be reimbursed for her costs, she must submit the following items:
  • travel Details (from/to, dates, etc.),
  • mileage Report (mileage will be reimbursed at the going rate), and
  • address where reimbursement payment should be sent.
