The SIGAPP Student Travel Award Program (STAP) was established to provide financial support for SIGAPP student members
to attend SIGAPP primary conference (SAC) to present their accepted work. Student primary authors and co-authors are eligible to
apply for these awards. The eligibility rules may vary year to year depending on funds availability. Applications are evaluated
on a competitive basis.
Expenses eligible for coverage include conference registration fees, travel expenses to and from the conference, and accommodation
expenses while attending SAC. Note that meal expenses will not be covered by these grants, neither will cost related to getting a
visa to travel to the conference location. The award amounts vary year to year depending on type of travel (intercontinental or
intra-continental) and the applicants pool and their needs. SIGAPP expects institutions to share costs in funding students travel
to SAC.
Reimbursement is handled by ACM after the end of the conference. Recipients will received instructions from ACM on how to claim
these awards. Recipients need to keep original receipts for all eligible expenses as they are required for reimbursement.
Students may join SIGAPP for a very nominal fee and become eligible for this funding.
Only SIGAPP student members are eligible for this award. Please see
SIGAPP Membership for more details.
