NSF, IBM, and Microsoft Travel Support: US Students

The United States National Science Foundation, IBM, and Microsoft have provided funding to support student travel grants. The nominal award is $1000 toward travel expenses to Kyoto, Japan for SODA12, or ALENEX12 or ANALCO12. In special cases of large travel costs somewhat larger grants may be given.

Any full-time student in good standing who is affiliated with a United States institution is eligible to receive an award. All awardees are responsible for paying for meeting registration fees. However, registration fees may be included in travel expenses.

Top priority will be given to students presenting papers at the meeting, with second priority to students who are co-authors of papers. Ties will be broken in favor of students who have not attended a prior SODA.

Application

To be considered, an application must include:

  1. A statement requesting the travel award and providing the rationale for the request and explaining your interest in attending the conference.

In addition, you may provide a URL for a working Web page that expands on the information in your CV.

  3. The name and email address of your advisor who should be asked to provide a letter of support for your application and any special circumstances.
