*********************************************************

Thanks to the generosity and sponsorship of the National Science 
Foundation and IEEE, we have a limited number of scholarships to award 
to students to assist with travel and accommodation costs while 
attending CSF 2024. Minor volunteer work may be asked from some of these 
students (handing-in mics during Q&A periods, or help with early morning 
registrations). The amount of each scholarship is not yet determined and 
depends on the number of applicants and last minute donations.

We encourage applications from students from a wide variety of 
institutions, diverse backgrounds, and first time attendees. Due to 
restrictions on the travel sponsorship, the majority of travel grants 
will be given to students enrolled in U.S. institutions, but we also 
have funds to cover the participation of a limited number of students 
from international institutions. Undergraduate and graduate students 
will be considered.


APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS AND DEADLINES

To apply for a scholarship, students should send the following to Mayank 
Varia (varia at bu.edu), Luca Mariot (l.mariot at utwente.nl) and Kaitai Liang 
(kaitai.liang at tudelft.nl):

- Name and affiliation of student.
- Name and affiliation of advisor/supervisor.

- Brief description of the travel budget (e.g., approximate air fare,
   and accommodation).
- Student's vita
- Brief letter from the student stating why the student believes he or
   she would benefit from attending CSF. It should include:
   * A brief summary of research interests and accomplishments to date;
   * A description of areas reflected in the symposium program that
     would impact the student's research; and
   * Why attendance of CSF is important to this student.
- Brief letter of support from advisor/supervisor indicating why the
   advisor believes the student would benefit from attending the
   conference and confirming that the student is a Ph.D. candidate in
   good standing. This letter can be sent directly to Mayank Varia,
   Luca Mariot and Kaitai Liang, and should include:
   * The advisor’s view on the suitability of CSF program material to
     the student's research area;
   * Ways this particular student would benefit from attending CSF; and
   * The advisor's opinion about the strengths and potential
     contributions of the student.

Deadline for applications: May 17, 2024, AoE.

Applicants will be informed whether they received a scholarship, the 
amount, and what will be expected from them, by June 3, 2024, AoE.

Awardees will have to register and pay upfront for all expenses, and 
then send scanned copies of all their receipts by email. They will then 
be reimbursed after the symposium for their expenses, up to the amount 
awarded for their travel scholarship.
