Trip Sign-Ups

Active sign-up dates posted are when the housemaster/day advisor recommendations must be submitted by.
Admission to our trips is based on many factors including seniority, whether a student has traveled on a school program before, gender ratios, etc.
Students are asked to also note a second trip of interest on their housemaster recommendation form in case their primary trip is over-subscribed.
If a student is not selected for a trip, their names are on record for priority in the next season of trips.
Students who graduate in June are not allowed to travel on that year’s summer trip.

Financial Aid Information

Financial aid students are eligible to receive aid for one trip during their time at Lawrenceville and are awarded the same percentage that they receive towards tuition.

Payment Policies

Once a student is selected for a trip, a letter with forms and a payment schedule will be sent home to parents. The first payment is non-refundable.
Within the contract received, there is a specified date after which no refunds are possible. These vary by trip.
Failure to complete all forms required by the school by the set date prior to departure may be cause for termination of participation, as well as inability to refund cost of trip.

Passport Information

All passports must be current six months past the return date of the school sponsored trip being attended.
The passport must contain at least two free pages for potential visa needs.
A photo copy of the first passport page is required for sign-up when the first payment is due.

Costs

The current approximate cost contains price of flights at time of trip research. There is the potential for this to change. Participants will be alerted to any changes at time of trip sign-up.

Vaccinations

A list of required vaccinations for each trip will be sent home to all families.
If students do not provide records of having these vaccinations by their return to campus after the December break, arrangements will be made for the vaccinations to be administered on campus.
