Transit Stipend Request Form

Transit stipends are only issued to cover expenses for students who must use public transportation to get from their accommodations to their classes, or for any travel as part of a course requirement. In some instances (especially in London and other large cities) taking public transportation does not expedite a student's journey to and from classes, in which case a stipend will not be issued.
