MASS-2004 STUDENT TRAVEL GRANTS

NSF Travel Support Grants for Graduate Students

NSF would like to encourage graduate students' participation in the MASS conference and affiliated tutorials by partially funding the travel costs of individuals who would otherwise be unable to attend the conference.

Who should apply

Any graduate student who is co-author on a regular or poster paper, regardless of nationality, may apply. This grant will pay travel and accommodation costs up to $750 based on the need. We anticipate twenty (20) awards. The selection process will give preference to graduate students with regular papers and without sufficient travel funding.

How to apply

Applications and supporting letters for a student travel grant should be emailed to Program Co-Chair Professor Jie Wu at jie@cse.fau.edu <mailto:jie@cse.fau.edu> and cc to Mingming Lu at mlu2@fau.edu <mailto:mlu2@fau.edu>, as soon as possible, but no later than September 24, 2004. Award announcements will be made around October 1, 2004.

Applications should include:

  1. The application should include the title of the paper and the need for the travel grant (air fare and other anticipated cost).

  2. Applicant's school: Priority will be given for travel within North America. Travel by non-US applicants is subjected to NSF approval.

  3. A letter of recommendation from the student's advisor: The advisor should clarify whether other sources of funding are available.

  4. The awardee will be required to submit original receipts for reimbursement of the awarded funds. All receipts covering the expenses need to be mailed to the General Chair Prof. Dharma Agrawal, ECECS, Box. 210030, University of Cincinnati, OH 45221-0030. No reimbursement is possible without original receipts.
