site visit approaching

What do I do if my site visit is approaching and SMART hasn't contacted me about my travel stipend? I dont have the $700 for a plane ticket or the $200 for a hotel.

I asked my parents to cover me... I got told it will be one to two weeks before we are paid after we get the site visit approval.sitevisit wrote:What do I do if my site visit is approaching and SMART hasn't contacted me about my travel stipend?

And for those of us that don't have our parents paying for things it's a bit harderkbl2017 wrote:I asked my parents to cover me...

We were given the dates - then I finally asked about two weeks before if I needed a car. For us, the government provided transportation and around the two-week mark told us a hotel to book/where they would pick us up in the AM. Then we didn't get any info besides the dates until about two days before. I would just plan to arrive the day before and leave fairly late in the evening or the next day after.guest123 wrote:My site visit dates are in 2 weeks and all I've gotten out of my SF are the dates and an address. Should I expect anything else? The POC on my SMART award letter handed me off (After not responding for a week) to a guy (guy2) that only set up me up with calendar dates and sent me back to the POC who then said I was supposed to make plans with guy2. I just want to know simple questions like, "what time of day should I arrive/expect to be done? Is someone making an itinerary for me?"
I'd like to hear what other people are experiencing or how you are working this out yourself. I don't want to come off as needy, but I feel like more details are warranted.
