SIGAPP
Student Travel Award Program
The SIGAPP Student Travel
Award Program (STAP) exists to provide support
to help SIGAPP student members to attend conferences and
workshops sponsored or co-sponsored by SIGAPP where they are the
primary author and presenter of the paper. 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" for
the given conference/workshop. Applications will be evaluated
on a competitive basis. Expenses that will be considered for coverage
include registration fees for the conference or workshop, travel
expenses to and from the conference or workshop and shared accommodation
expenses while attending the conference or workshop. Note that
meal expenses will not be covered by the SIGAPP STAP funds. 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. Conferences in cooperation with SIGAPP
may also be considered, depending on available funds.
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.
