Food & Lodging
YP4 will cover lodging expenses, breakfast, lunch, snacks throughout the training, and heavy hors d'oeuvres at the Reception on Friday. Due to the cost of hotel accommodations, Fellows may be placed in up to four to a room.
In the case that you are unable to attend the National Summit for any reason, you are to reimburse YP4 within 30 days of the National Summit so these critical resources may be redistributed to other members in the YP4 network. An invoice will be sent after the National Summit for the total amount owed.
The estimated amount YP4 spends on lodging, meals, and fees for each Fellow who attends the National Summit is $750 per person. Additionally, if you receive a full or partial travel scholarship, the amount spent on your travel will be added to this total.
