Travel

  • The Yale Hindi Debate offers last-dollar reimbursement for travel for students participating in the Yale Hindi Debate. This means that we offer funding as a last resort, after participating schools have used their own resources. Due to budgetary restrictions, we are unable to offer full funding for travel in all cases. The map below illustrates the maximum amount that can be reimbursed for students traveling from a given part of the country to New Haven for the debate.
    • Zone 1: Northeast, $100
      • Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Vermont, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, D.C.
    • Zone 2: South $300
      • Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Florida
    • Zone 3: Midwest $300
      • Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Louisiana
    • Zone 4: West $500
      • Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona
    • Zone 5: Alaska + Hawaii

  • The Yale Hindi Debate team will book travel on behalf of participating students in cases where expenses fall within the stipulated maximum amount. In cases where expenses exceed the maximum, Yale will reimburse the student or university for expenses up to the maximum amount.

     

Lodging

  • When in New Haven, students stay with student hosts in Yale’s on- and off-campus housing. We do not offer travel reimbursements to faculty members wishing to attend the debate.
    • In case of a pandemic or other health emergency, visiting students will be accommodated in hotel rooms off-campus. Plans subject to change and contingent on Yale policy.
