Local phone calls are free and there are ethernet ports in every room, so be sure to bring your laptop computer! Rooms will cost $25/night. Meals are available in the dormitory cafeteria, at the UNM Student Union, and at many nearby restaurants. Parking is available for $12/week. We will assist those who would rather live off campus in finding alternative housing.

The University of New Mexico was founded in 1889 and is constructed in a unique southwestern style. The campus lies a mile above sea level and covers nearly 700 acres.

The NEH provides participants with a stipend of $3000.00. This stipend is meant to help cover the costs of travel, housing, and meals. (Participants are encouraged to apply for travel funds from their home institutions.)

Those who take advantage of the housing provided by UNM will (with written permission) have the sum of $700 deducted and submitted to the University of New Mexico on the participant's behalf.

One-half of the remaining stipend will be distributed to participants at the first meeting. The second half will be distributed at the beginning of the third week. Participants will need to make their own travel arrangements.
