IEEE SECON 2011 Student Travel Grant
Overview:
SECON 2011 is pleased to provide a limited number of student travel grants
to US based graduate students to participate in our conference, workshops,
poster and demo sessions. Travel support will provide up to $800 per student
to help defray, but not necessarily to cover entirely, the costs of
student's travel, lodging, meals, and conference registration fees. We
encourage the participation from women and underrepresented minorities.
Travel support is made available by a grant from the US National Science
Foundation (pending approval).
Form and Amount of Support:
The support is intended to cover partially the cost s of student's travel,
lodging, meals, conference registration, etc. The award will be handled via
reimbursements. Each legitimate expense must be documented with an original
official receipt (e.g., air ticket and hotel receipt). The reimbursement
will be sent as a check via postal mail six to eight weeks after submitting
the reimbursement forms and supporting receipts. Further details of the
reimbursement procedure will be communicated to the award recipients.
Eligibility for Student Travel Grants:
To qualify for the NSF Student Travel Grant, the applicant must be a
US-based student, that is, a Ph.D. student attending universities in the US
(but do not necessarily need to be US citizens or permanent residents).
Priority is given to student authors with accepted papers, posters, or demos
at SECON 2011 who would not otherwise be able to attend due to budgetary
constraints. Priority is also given to students who are volunteers with
SECON events. Special efforts will be made to recruit student participants
who are underrepresented in STEM disciplines, and who are coming from
diverse institutions.
Application Process and Notification:
The applicant should send an application containing:
* A resume or CV of the applicant
* A letter that briefly summarizes (1) the applicant's current research
interests / accomplishments, (2) a description of how SECON will benefit
his/her professional development
The student's advisor should send a supporting letter that (1) confirming
that the student is in good academic standing in the PhD program, (2) why
the student is in need of a travel grant, and (3) how SECON will benefit the
student's research progress.
Applications should be submitted by May 23 via email to the Travel Awards
Chair (Dr. Wenjing Lou, wjlou at ece.wpi.edu). Please use "SECON Student Travel
