NEH Stipends
Each participant receives a $2,200 stipend from the NEH for their time commitment and to help defray the cost of attending the Institute, e.g. travel, food and lodging. This stipend is taxable as income. The Institute will provide occasional group lunches, as noted on the schedule, and coach bus travel from New York City to Rochester, NY on June 19th.

The Institute has reserved dorm-style rooms in New York City and in Rochester.
