Uniquely UNH School Counselor Visit Program

Counselors are responsible for arranging their own transportation to and from campus but will be offered reimbursement for travel expenses. Lodging and meals will be arranged by the UNH Admissions Office and will be free of charge for guests. Reimbursement rates will vary depending on the distance travel. These rates are defined below and are based on the historic travel costs of counselors traveling from specific geographies.

Please save your receipts and bring them to campus when you attend the workshop. We will go over the reimbursement paperwork with you. Reimbursement checks are issued a few weeks after the program. Counselors must attend the full program to qualify for reimbursement.
