Housing and Stipend

Stipend

Each participant will receive a stipend of $2,850. This is intended to help cover housing, travel, meals, and basic academic expenses. These stipends are taxable as income.

Housing

The Institute will be held on the campus of Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, Florida. The University holds the Weiner Spirit of America Collection composed largely of books from the Revolutionary era and the Jaffe Center for Book Arts. The Wimberly Library will be our main site of study for the three weeks of this Institute.

Innovation Village Apartments South

Participants will stay on-campus in the Innovation Village Apartments South provided through the FAU Housing and Residential Education Office. These are air-conditioned four-bedroom, two-bathroom apartments. Each apartment has a common living space with a full kitchen and in-unit laundry. Wireless internet will be provided. The building has a fitness room and computer lab, as well as a swimming pool, volleyball court, barbecue grills, and picnic tables. Innovation Village Apartments South is located a short, 15-minute walk from the Wimberly Library. There is a virtual tour of the apartments available here: https://www.fau.edu/housing/tour/ivas/

four bed two bath

We strongly encourage participants to stay in FAU housing, which we believe will help to build community during the Institute. This is also likely to be the most cost-effective option in Boca Raton, at approximately $31 per person per night. Housing expenses will be deducted from your stipend.

Participants may arrange for their own housing if they wish, though other options in the Boca Raton area are likely to be considerably more expensive.
