Hi Jennifer,

Uploading an XLS budget template that we use for these kinds of trips so you have formulas, etc. Hope it's helpful!

Best,
Sarah

I can share both!

For our domestic course travel, budget line items can include:
* Transportation (flight, train, or rental vehicle)
* Lodging (faculty and students)
* Group meals
* Entry tickets
* Faculty reimbursables (per diem, airport parking, hotel parking, etc)
For overnight trips, we charge students a $100 program fee to offset some of these costs.

For international course travel:
* Faculty airfare (x2)
* Faculty insurance (x2 from Study Abroad)
* Faculty misc reimbursable expenses (x2)
* Faculty per diem (x2 max based on State Department)
* Provider cost per student (from provider proposal)
* Cost of a forced single due to gender imbalance
Our study abroad course logistics are handled by third-party providers (CIEE, WorldStrides, etc) and amortize costs for two faculty into the student price. We charge the students a modest amount over actual cost.

I will also add that I make it a point to find hotels that offer breakfast

Happy to share further via email ([email protected])

Subject :Looking for Sample Budgets for International Experiential Learning Trips

Hello,

We are working on a budget proposal for an international experiential learning trip. We are wondering if anyone would be able to share a sample budget from either a domestic or international experiential learning trip that we could review. Mainly, we are trying to identify any potential items that might have forgotten to include. Thank you in advance for any assistance!

Jennifer
