Travel Support For Eligible Students

CGO 2017 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 Grant

Information for how to apply for an NSF grant can be found here

SIGPLAN Grant

Additional Funding

In addition to the NSF and SIGPLAN funding, a small amount of additional funding is available for student support and grants from this funding will be granted on a case-by-case basis. To apply for this funding, please submit the following to Brandon Lucia (blucia@ece.cmu.edu):

• 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.
