==========
IEEE SECON 2012 Student Travel Grant Opportunities
==========
SECON 2012 is pleased to provide a limited number of student travel grants
to graduate students to participate in our conference, workshops, poster,
and demo sessions. Travel support will provide funds to help defray, but
not necessarily to cover entirely, the costs of student's travel, lodging,
meals, and conference registration fees. We encourage participation from
women and underrepresented minorities.
Student Travel Grant Support
The support is intended to partially cover the costs 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
The eligibility criteria for student travel grants to attend SECON 2012 are
as follows. Applicants must be full-time, currently registered students in
engineering or related fields in a college or university at the time of
application. Priority will be given to student authors with accepted
papers, posters, or demos at SECON 2012 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 (1) summarizes the applicant's current research interests /

Chair (Patrick Tague, tague [at] cmu [dot] edu). Please use "SECON Student
