Forté Fellow Conference Travel Stipend Policies

Class of 2020-2021 Forté Fellowship recipients may be eligible for a $200 travel stipend to support their attendance at the 2019 Forté MBA Women's Leadership Conference. This stipend is intended for those traveling to Chicago for the conference and incurring significant expenses for travel and lodging.

To be eligible, the following criteria must be met:

  1. Forté Fellows must attend the entire conference, starting on Friday, June 28 through Saturday, June 29.
  2. Forté Fellows must stay at the designated conference hotel, the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place. If you are sharing a room, make sure all names are listed on the reservation. Please retain a copy of receipt should we need to verify your stay. If the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place is sold out, additional hotels will be designated. Please book as early as possible.
  3. Forté Fellows must be enrolled for fall of 2019 at the Forté Sponsor School awarding their fellowship. This information is verified in September.

Stipend checks will be issued to eligible Forté Fellows starting in October 2019 after their enrollment is confirmed by their sponsor school in September 2019.
