PWS will cover the travel expenses, daily/accommodation expenses and the registration fee. I believe the registration fee is $300 for students if you register BY December 1st, 2015.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS, as your trip will be covered ONLY under these circumstances:

REGISTRATION FEE
☆Please pay for the registration fee first, and PWS will reimburse you later. However, PWS will not be able to reimburse you the registration fee until July 2016, about a month before this event. PWS will provide the necessary expenses along with the registration fee to you a month before your trip. (It is not necessary for you to submit a receipt for the registration fee this time)
☆PWS will ONLY cover the early registration fee of $300. You can register past the "early registration" date, but PWS will only reimburse you $300.
☆Please also note that registration fees WILL NOT BE REIMBURSED back to you if you decide to CANCEL. Therefore, please only register if you know for sure you will be able to make it on this trip.

JAPANESE MACAQUES AT LINCOLN PARK ZOO
☆In addition to attending IPS Chicago, you MUST also go see the Japanese macaques at Lincoln Park Zoo. These Japanese macaques were provided by Japan Monkey Centre.
