NSF Student Travel Grants
IEEE ICC 2018 conference offers a number of NSF travel grants to the students on competition basis. The travel grants are to promote diversity of the conference attendance. This grant is particularly for 1) first time attendees without an accepted paper, and 2) women and minorities. These travel supports will enable sharing scientific information and stimulating research interests for students in the field of communications and networking.
Among the awardees, women and other minority students will have complementary N2Women/WICE registration through this grant.
Applicant Eligibility
Conditions for receiving an award are as follows:
- The applicant must be a student at US institutions at the time he/she attends the conference;
- The student applicant must be full-time student registered toward a Bachelor, Masters, or PhD degree in computer science, engineering or related field in a college or university when submitting the applications;
- Please indicate if the applicant is a first-time attendee to the conference who do not have papers at the ICC 2018 (accepted workshop apers are fine). Undergraduates and beginning graduate students are strongly encouraged to apply.
- Please indicate if the applicant is from under-represented groups (women and minority). Authors of accepted ICC 2018 papers are allowed for this category.
- During the expense reimbursement stage, the student applicant must show the proof of having registered to attend the IEEE ICC 2018 conference and the co-located N2Women/WICE Workshop (for those who apply);
IMPORTANT NOTE: All flights made on a NSF travel grant award must be either on a US-flag carrier or ticketed through an US-carrier (e.g. codeshare flights on international airlines).
Each award is up-to $800 subject to the travel reimbursement. A student who is awarded a student travel grant must attend the conference in person. The student must register and attend. Payment will only be made to the student as long as the award recipient submits the expense report (with receipts) within 45 days after the conference.
