| | Our grant includes $200 for each participant to be used for housing, gas, and food. Each participant may apply that amount as they choose. If you are interested in staying in campus housing during the training, we have rooms available in Texan Village. (See the link to the Campus map for location). Cost: $20 per night Please note that this is a change from the total cost of $180 listed before. The latest info is that these are residence hall apartments and will be shared by 2-3 participants. They are furnished with kitchens (no utensils) and have refrigerators. You will need to bring bedding, linens, etc. Here is the link to info on Texas Village. These apartments have separate bedrooms for each person. It will be necessary for participants to pay for their housing upon arrival. However, we can hold the checks until the end of the 2 weeks. At that time, all participants will be given their checks for $200 This is the process that keeps all the accounts straight! Participants are welcome to stay in housing on Sunday nights, or may drive in very early Monday morning. If you wish to stay on Sunday night, please let me know so I can make arrangements for you. |
