Only one author per paper will be awarded a travel grant and an applicant can receive only one grant per year.
IEEE/IEEE CIS Membership will be confirmed automatically through the IEEE Member database.
Student applicants will be required to present proof of university attendance documentation at the conference.
Students who receive travel grants will be expected to volunteer to assist the conference management team. Duties may include assisting with registration, ticket acceptance, audio-visual requirements, and other conference matters. It is not expected that this volunteering will interfere with any student's opportunity to attend most of the technical sessions, nor with presenting their own paper at the meeting.
