NEH Summer Scholars will receive a stipend of $1200 on the last day of the workshop. NEH Summer Scholars are required to attend all scheduled meetings and to engage fully as professionals in all project activities. Participants who do not complete the full tenure of the project will receive a reduced stipend. In most cases, the stipend should cover virtually all costs associated with the Landmarks Workshop. From the stipend, NEH Summer Scholars will pay for airfare, lodging, travel from either Burbank Airport (BUR) or Los Angeles (LAX) and lodging at the Conference Services Complex on the CSUN Campus. Those participants planning on driving can purchase daily parking passes for $6.00/day. Amenities included in each residence include air conditioning, wireless and plug-in Internet access, swimming pool, computer lab, and laundry facilities. Participants will be given linens and will share rooms with one other guest in a suite format at the rate of $31.00/night. Private rooms are also available for $45.00/night. For dinners, participants may purchase “dining dollar cards” ($10.95 for all you can eat) at Geronimo’s Food Court in the Campus Conference Services complex.
| Item | Cost |
|---|---|
| Airfare | $550 |
| Housing and Dinner/Breakfast Cards | $60/per night x 6 nights = $360 |
| Shuttle Service to and From LAX or BUR | $50 |
| Books on Amazon.com | $100 |
NEH Summer Scholars can communicate with one another prior to the workshop on Facebook by befriending “NEH Landmarks: Spanish and Mexican Era in California”, and Scholars are encouraged to share their travel plans with others to cut costs and build camaraderie. Finally, participants should be aware that stipends are subject to both state and federal taxes.
