  • Faculty Expense Reimbursement Form 2025

    We can not make honorarium payment to faculty who are not US citizens or permanent residents. Individuals on non-immigrant visas are not eligible to receive payment from businesses other than their employers or sponsors of the visa. Please complete this form and attach all original receipts. If honorarium is provided and you are opting to receive honorarium, please also include your most updated form W9 signed within the last one year and a voided check for ACH payment to ensure you receive the payments in a timely manner.
  • Due to accounting and reconciliation compliance requirements, we request that you submit your expense and honorarium request within 10-days of the conference.

    If we do not receive an honorarium or reimbursement request within 60-days of the conference, we will assume that you wish to donate the expenses and the honoraria to Binaytara. We will send a donation receipt after 61-days. Once the receipt has been sent, we will no longer process the honorarium or reimbursement request.
