SIGAPP
Student Travel Award Program
The SIGAPP Student Travel
Award Program (STAP) exists to provide support to help SIGAPP
student members attend SIGAPP primary conference (SAC) where
they are the primary author and presenter of accepted papers.
It is expected that these funds will be applied for only when
it would not be possible to attend otherwise. The deadline for
applications will normally be the deadline for registering as
"paper author". Applications will be evaluated on a competitive
basis. Expenses that will be considered for coverage include conference
registration fees, travel expenses to and from the conference,
and shared accommodation expenses while attending SAC. Note that
meal expenses will not be covered by the SIGAPP STAP funds and
neither will cost related to getting a visa to travel to the conference
location. The awards range from $400 to $800 depending on type
of travel (intercontinental or intra-continental) and the applicant
pool and their needs. SIGAPP expects institutions to share
costs in the funding of students.
Students
may join SIGAPP for a very nominal fee ($8) and become eligible
for this funding. Only SIGAPP
student members are eligible for this award.
