Travel Support Grants
ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security (ACM CCS) would
like encourage graduate student participation in the conference by
subsizing the travel costs of individuals who would otherwise be
unable to attend the conference.
Application due: September 15, 2004
Who should apply
Any graduate student in good standing, regardless of nationality, or
any other criteria, except as noted, may apply. The decisions will be
based as much as possible on both what the individual may get from the
conference and may bring to the conference. ACM CCS will cover
student registration costs and subsidize travel costs. The total
subsidy will be approximately $300-$400. There will be up to seven (7)
awardees.
While anyone may apply for this travel support, the selection process
will give preference to ACM CCS 2004 paper authors who are graduate
students without sufficient travel funding. The awardees cannot
receive support from any other source for the expenses funded by this
program.
How to apply
Applications and supporting letters for a student travel grant should
be emailed to Trent Jaeger at jaegert@us.ibm.com, as soon as possible,
but no later than September 15, 2004. Award announcement will be made
around October 1, 2004.
An application is a paragraph stating why attending ACM CCS 2004 would
be useful for his or her research.
This paragraph should include:
- the type of paper (if any) she or he will present at ACM CCS
2004, research or industry track
- the applicant's school
We also need a note from the student's advisor, indicating why the
advisor believes the student would benefit from attending ACM CCS 2004
and confirming that the student is a doctoral candidate in good
standing.
Please contact Trent Jaeger (jaegert@us.ibm.com) for any further information.
