  • Apply for Academy Travel Funds

    1. Applications are allowed and encouraged as soon as you have the necessary information.
    2. Applications must be submitted a minimum of 30 days before travel. Please apply as early as you are able. The application is a Microsoft Form and it does not allow you to save a draft. We suggest you copy and paste all of the questions from the application to a Word document in order to gather all of the information you need before you submit the application.
    3. You are encouraged to secure the approval of your immediate supervisor prior to submitting your request. Failure to do so could reduce the likelihood that you can be reimbursed for travel expenses.
    4. Please note: per board policies, the committee may only approve a total of $3,000 per request. Amounts over $3,000 dollars require board approval.
    5. Please note that all international travel must have approval, in writing, from the President of the College.
