The Mentor Program funds:
• Hotel costs for two nights at the Embassy Suites-Arboretum (we make the reservation)
• 1-way travel between your city and Austin
• Airfare for participants who live more than 250 miles from Austin, with prior approval from the Mentor Coordinator
• Rental car in Austin for individuals who fly
• Substitute teacher payment for your district to hire a sub in your absence
To be eligible to attend, you must be a student currently working on VI or O&M certification in Texas, or a VI professional who is currently matched with a mentor through the TSBVI Mentor Program. Your mentor may accompany you to a Mentor Center; she/he is welcome and will receive the same funding accommodations.
Each Mentor Center begins at 5:00 p.m. on a Sunday, and ends at 4:00 p.m. on a Tuesday.
