Travel arrangements
If you plan to fly, we urge you to make travel arrangements early to capture the best airline prices. We recommend that you fly into the Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport (MSP).

Travel expenses
Through its Landmarks grant, the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) provides a supplement for travel expenses. Participants from Minnesota will receive $50 to cover travel expenses. Participants from border states of Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin will receive $150 to cover travel expenses. Participants traveling from all other states will receive $400 to cover flight or extended driving costs.

Stipend
Participants are allotted a $500 stipend to cover meals and lodging throughout the week. Because of the unique setting of the workshop and the amount of traveling required between workshop sites, the Minnesota Humanities Center would like to pool the stipend resources to minimize any additional costs to seminar participants.

Participants can participate in the food and lodging pool by relinquishing their $500 stipend to the Humanities Center. Participants in the pool will not have any additional food or lodging costs. Participants who elect to not participate in the pool will assume all food and lodging costs on their own. (We estimate that lodging for the full week will exceed the $500 stipend allotment even before any meals are included.) Please contact Minnesota Humanities Center staff for specific details about stipend, food, and lodging expenses.
