I am not from the Boston area, what accomodations are there for travel?
A limited number of travel scholarships are available for those outside of the Boston metropolitan area. To be considered for a travel scholarship, you must register before the Advanced Registration Deadline on November 15, 2011. We reserve our scholarship funds only for those interested in giving an oral presentation, so simply check the box indicating that you would be interested in presenting at a plenary session and you will be automatically considered for a travel scholarship. We will notify you of your status regarding the travel scholarship in early December.
Housing will be guaranteed for the duration of the conference only, on the evening of January 19 and January 20. Students outside of the Boston metropolitan area will be hosted by a Harvard student.
I am a Harvard student who wishes to host an NCRC participant. How does the registration fee reimbursement work?

We will be contacting you through your Harvard email for all matters regarding hosting. All Harvard student hosts will receive a check reimbursing the cost of registration at NCRC.
