I remember reading somewhere (probably in the Kellogg applicants thread) that Kellogg provides some monetary assistance to attend DAK.. has anyone else heard about that or know what that process is? I didn't see anything listed on the DAK website. Thanks!
i'm interested in finding out if this is true as well...someone please let us know if you have heard this is true/false
Yes - they do pay for your flight to get there. I went to DAK 1. This is the email you will receive

Congratulations on your recent admission to Kellogg! On behalf of the Kellogg Office of Admissions, I am writing to invite you to some special activities during Day at Kellogg (DAK). The dates for the event are February 11-12, 2011. If you have not already done so, please register immediately for DAK via the welcome website. I noticed that several people who have booked travel have not registered for the event. If you have questions, you may contact the committee at
dak11@kellogg.northwestern.edu. Don’t be left out!!!
Realizing you are in a crucial decision making stage, we would like to make sure that you have the opportunity to experience the Kellogg School: your airfare will be paid by Kellogg ($375 limit for US-based admits and $500 for internationally-based admits). If you have already booked your travel, please see the attached document for reimbursement instructions.
Black Management Association (BMA), Africa Business Club (ABC) and Hispanic Business Student Association (HBSA) will host a joint welcome reception on Thursday, February 10, beginning at 6:30pm. You will receive details and RSVP information on the club receptions shortly. We encourage you to arrive in Chicago no later than 4pm on February 10 for this special opportunity to meet and greet minority students and admits before DAK begins on Friday morning.
BOOKING TRAVEL
Contact Tina Erler at Travel 100 Group (800-245-9335) to make flight arrangements to and from Chicago. Hours of operation are 9:00 am – 5:00 pm CST, Monday through Friday. Flights must be booked no later than January 27th, 2011 to receive the travel stipend.
If your ticket costs more than the allotted stipend, you will not be able to use Travel 100 Group and will need to book your own ticket and submit your reservation for reimbursement with Kellogg. If your ticket falls under the allotted stipend amount and you DO book with Travel 100 Group, then the reimbursement instructions DO NOT apply to you.
All instructions are listed out carefully in the attached document. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact us. We are happy to serve as a resource.
Day at Kellogg is just around the corner and we are excited to see you on campus. Hope you can make it!.
