Per Diem Policy and Procedures

Updated 3/15/24 

The Sam Fox School Per Diem allows individuals to request a cash advance to pay for certain international travel expenses.  You are not required to keep receipts for the qualifying per diem expenses. Qualifying expenses are categorized as Meals and Incidental Expenses (M&IE) – that’s personal meals only and incidentals, which is typically limited to local transportation at your destination. Lodging, airfare, social meals, supplies, or other travel expenses are not included as valid expenses for the per diem. 

In order to qualify for a per diem, you must be traveling internationally and your stay in the foreign country must be a minimum of 10 calendar days. The Sam Fox per diem rate is limited to either $75 USD per day OR the M&IE amount listed on the US State Department website for the country you are traveling to, whichever is lower. 

If you qualify for a per diem and would like to request one, there are several steps you must follow, which are outlined in the downloadable document below. Please direct any questions or concerns to the Sam Fox School Business Office Team.
