Travel Cost Projections
This is a link to the per diem travel rates established by the General Services Administration for use by federal government employees. We have added this link in an effort to provide assistance budgeting travel costs on your sponsored project grant applications. These costs do not represent limitations on cost reimbursement to Hofstra University employees, rather this information is simply provided as guidance in preparing proposal budgets.

Xe.com The Universal Currency Converter
Currency Exchange Calculators can be found on many sites throughout the Internet, providing the most common exchanges (Euro-U.S. Dollar) as well as some of the more obscure (from the Albanian Lek to the Zambian Kwacha). Xe.com is one of the more popular and easy-to-use Exchange Rate Calculators. It is provided at this site for your convenience when preparing cost projections and/or travel expenses and reimbursement reports on grants.
