STUDENT TRAVEL GRANT

The IISWC 2014 organizers would like to encourage graduate student participation at the conference by partially or fully funding the travel costs of individuals who would otherwise be unable to attend the conference.

• Information for Travel Grants:

  • The travel grant is generally sponsored by National Science Foundation and our industry sponsors.

  • Grantees of the NSF travel grant must be enrolled in U.S. schools and should fly with U.S-based carriers for airfare reimbursement.

  • Awards will be NEED BASED -- our goal is to encourage the attendance of students who might not otherwise be able to attend!

  • The travel grant will be no more than the actual travel costs.

  • The travel grant is contingent on a 2 page summary of the conference and/or tutorials, written by the grantee.

  • Recipients do not need to be authors/presenters to qualify for a travel grant.
