Explore USC

<p>I was checking the caravan.esd.usc.edu website and couldn't find anything about how USC helps pay for domestic travel expenses for scholarship candidates even though I believe I read that somewhere in this forum...</p>

<p>Anyone know any information about this?</p>

<p>It will probably be covered in the letter.</p>

<p>Yeah... after I posted, I clicked next on the reservation link and then it tells you. Sorry for wasting everyone's time.</p>

<p>chief what does it say?</p>

<p>Travel Planning and Overnight Accommodations</p>

<p>Should you or your parents need to make flight plans or arrange for an overnight hotel stay for Explore (students are housed in university housing ), we strongly recommend using USC's official travel agency, STA Travel. Call them at either (213) 743-4782 or (888) 502-9056 and mention that you'll be attending an Explore USC program. They have access to specially discounted plane tickets and hotel rates. As we mentioned in our letter, if you need to fly to Los Angeles (from a U.S. domestic location), we will provide you monetary assistance that will offset a portion of the cost for student's ticket. STA travel will apply this discount to your ticket.</p>

<p>If you choose to make your own travel arrangements, please bring the receipt from the airline for the student's ticket to the Explore program. International students must make their travel arrangements through STA to receive the additional discount.</p>
