To be eligible, US based students (referred to as “you”) must apply via EDAS no later than Monday, January 30, 2023.

To apply for travel support, please do the following:

  1. Obtain a letter from your advisor/professor confirming that:
    • You are currently a full-time research student in good standing and working in areas related to pervasive computing
    • You will be attending the entire IEEE PerCom conference and associated events.
    • The remainder of your travel support will be covered (indicate how).
  2. Write a personal statement describing your research interests and accomplishments to date, how you wish to benefit from attending PerCom 2023. Indicate your full-time student status (B.S., M.S., Ph.D. or postdoc), and the location you will be traveling from.
  3. Upload the above documents, along with your two-page CV, on EDAS as part of the “PerCom 2023 NSF supported travel grant for US students”. (Direct EDAS link)

Expenses that are not eligible for reimbursement include regular or on-site registration, taxi and meals. Student travel grants are available in the form of reimbursements that are sent only after the completion of the conference and receipt of all required documentation and receipts. The reimbursement amount will be based on the number of awards made and distance traveled.
