Since these payments are made as reimbursements, we should be repaying the person who paid. If your parent, faculty advisor, or someone else paid for some or part of your trip, they should submit a reimbursement for and have you sign the back to show that you are transferring the award. If you paid them back in cash or that person wants the payment to go to you, we will not be able reimburse you for that without a signed note from that person saying that the payment can go to you.
You cannot receive your finding in advance. You must submit a reimbursement request at or after the meeting.
You can scan and email your reimbursement form and receipts to travel@maa.org (we prefer electronic submissions). Please send as a single PDF. If you prefer, you can send hard copies to:
