CGO 2015 is now offering travel support for students attending US or non-US universities. Each application and the grant amount will be decided on a case-by-case basis (i.e., funding is NOT guaranteed). To apply for reimbursement, there are two options:
NSF and SIGMICRO Grant:
To apply for reimbursement, a student needs to provide:
- A resume
- A cover letter stating the student’s reason for attending the CGO or PPoPP symposium and a description of his or her research interests.
- Confirmation of the student’s resources and amounts of funding to travel to the symposium. (In the past, this included estimated travel expenses.)
- A letter from the student’s advisor that
- Recommends that the student attend the CGO or PPoPP symposium.
- Confirms the student’s eligibility to attend the symposium.
- Endorses the student’s potential for research.
This documentation should be collected by the student and forwarded electronically to CGO’s Student Committee including Dr. Ronald Mak (ron.mak@sjsu.edu) and Dr. Jennifer Sartor (jennifer.sartor@elis.ugent.be)
Reimbursable expenses include airfare, ground transportation, lodging, symposium registration fees, and meals and incidentals subject to a maximum per diem amount. (See http://www.gsa.gov/portal/
Students who will get reimbursements must fill out a travel expense form (to be sent out) and provide original receipts.
We encourage students who are female, minority, or from other underrepresented groups to apply for this funding.
