Student Travel Grants for ACM CCS 2011
http://www.sigsac.org/ccs/CCS2011/stgrant.shtml
ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security (ACM CCS) would like to
encourage graduate student participation in the conference by subsidizing the
travel costs of individuals who would otherwise be unable to attend the
conference and the collocated workshops.
Who Should Apply:
Any graduate student in good standing, regardless of nationality, or any other
criteria, except as noted, may apply. The decisions will be based as much as
possible on both what the individual may get from the conference and may bring
to the conference. ACM CCS will cover student registration costs and subsidize
travel costs. Each CCS full travel grant will include the registration of the
main conference and a check of $500. The total value of each full award will be
$955. In addition, applicants can also apply to the Workshop award
independently for a maximum amount to $500.
While any student may apply for this travel support, the selection process will
give preference to ACM CCS 2011 paper authors who are graduate students without
sufficient travel funding. Awardees may not simultaneously draw on other
sources of ACM funding for their travel or conference expenses.
How to Apply:
Students should provide:
- Application for Travel Support [CCS 2011].
- Current CV.
- Letter of support from the student's advisor confirming that the student is
in good standing and the level of monetary support necessary for the student to
attend.
- Personal statement of research from the student explaining the reason to
attend CCS main event and/or workshops.
Applications and supporting letters for a student travel grant should be
emailed to both of the Student Support co-Chairs Kang Li (kangli [_at_]
cs.uga.edu) and Phillip Porras (porras [_at_] csl.sri.com), between August 19,
2011 and September 9, 2011, 11:59, EST. Applications submitted outside of the
submission period are not guaranteed to be considered.
Notification:
Award notifications will be announced by September 23th.
