Get Reimbursed for Traveling to an LU Event
Prospective Student Events
If you travel to a prospective student event (e.g. College For A Weekend (CFAW), ExperienceLU, or DecideLU) via train, rental car, plane, or bus and then enroll as a student, up to $750 of your fare will be applied as a credit to your Liberty University account once you begin your classes. Look for more visiting opportunities here.

This should have your name on it, with dates that correspond to the event for which you attended, as well as the price for your ticket with an itemized list of costs.
