NSF Student Travel Grants

NSF Student Travel Grant:

We are pleased to offer a number of travel assistance grants (up to $1,000 each) for students to attend ICCCN 2015 supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF). Note that all student attendees must have registered to be eligible for support and grants are made in the form of post-conference reimbursement to cover student travel related expenses. We especially welcome applications from underrepresented groups (e.g., African-Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, Native Pacific Islanders, etc) and women.

Eligibility for Student Travel Grants

1. The student must be enrolled in a full-time graduate program at an accredited U.S. institution and must be an author of a paper accepted in ICCCN 2015 main conference.
2. The student has registered to attend ICCCN 2015 conference.
3. If using the grant for airfare reimbursement, the student will fly with a US-based carrier. According to NSF policy, only airfare on a US-based carrier can be reimbursed.
