Frequently Asked Questions    — Application DEADLINE January 28, 2009

What does it mean to receive PCMI funding/financial aid as an Undergraduate Faculty participant?

• Air Travel (max $450) and Airport Shuttle
• Standard Housing in a private, studio-condo unit or a private bedroom in a multi-bedroom condo at the Conference Center
• Catered meals of breakfast and lunch, Monday-Friday
• A modest meal allowance of $250

What can I do if I am not awarded financial aid from PCMI, but would still like to attend the program?

• If you are qualified to attend PCMI, contact the PCMI office for information regarding registration, lodging and other expenses.

May I bring my family?

• UFP participants are welcome to request private housing and bring their families to PCMI for an additional cost. The catered meals served at PCMI are considered "working meals", and thus are for participants only. All standard lodging comes with a fully equipped kitchen for the use of your family. If you will require something larger than standard lodging (a studio unit), an extra fee will be required.

In what kind of facility is PCMI held?

• PCMI is held at the Prospector Square Lodge and Conference Center in Park City, Utah. Standard housing at the Prospector Square is a studio-condo unit with either 2 queen beds, or 1 queen bed and 1 sleeper sofa, or a private bedroom in a multi-bedroom condo (some multi-bedroom condos have shared baths). Catered meals are served for all participants at breakfast and lunch on the weekdays.

What options are available for dinner and weekend meals?

• Park City is full of restaurants ranging from fast food to very expensive. Also, there are two grocery stores within walking distance of the Conference Center (or on the free bus route around Park City.) Both grocery stores have extensive take-out sections..

Can I get around Park City without a car?

• A free city bus operates throughout Park City and Deer Valley all day and well into the night.

What about child care?

• The Silver Mountain Spa next door to Prospector Square has a drop-in service. Other options may be available -- contact the PCMI office. Children should not be brought to any of the PCMI program sessions.
