Chairs:

Deadline:

• 13 July 2015 (23:59 Hawaii Standard Time)

Description:

ACM SIGWEB is kindly offering a total of US$7000 in funding for Student Travel Awards. These awards are intended for student authors who have papers accepted in any of the tracks (full papers, short papers, posters, demos, workshop papers) as well as participants of the Doctoral Consortium and who attend the conference and personally present their research. SIGWEB Student Travel Awards typically range in value from $250 to $750.

Student awards are intended to cover a portion only of the student’s overall expenses. The sizes of the awards in general will depend on the number of qualified applicants, and the amount of individual awards may vary depending on the distance travelled and the kind and ranking of the papers.

Students may submit applications prior to learning whether or not their papers have been accepted. However, travel awards will only be given to students who have an accepted paper, note or poster and who will be presenting that work themselves, or who present their PhD project at the Doctoral Consortium.

Applications for these awards should be submitted as soon as possible. To apply for a SIGWEB Student Travel Award, the student should submit the following:

• A completed application form
• A resume
• A letter of support from the student’s research advisor

You should apply by email and include the information detailed in the Student Award Application. Applications must be submitted by the stated time. Late applications will not be considered. Students who have a full technical paper accepted or a DC application accepted will be given a higher priority compared to students with short paper or a demo paper. Award decisions will be made and applicants will be notified before the Early Bird Registration deadline

Deadline:

Description:

SIGWEB will provide funds for a limited number of grants that will support both student and professional members with disabilities who would like to participate in associated conferences but are unable to do so without personal care/assistance provided by another person. Grants may cover expenses including:

• Travel costs for a companion who would not otherwise be attending the conference, specifically for non-shared transportation costs such as airfare
• Accommodation costs for a companion who would not otherwise be attending the conference
• Care arranged via an appropriate agency local to the conference

Due to limited availability of funds, there is an $800 cap on each support request. For more information, or to apply, email the Disability Support Chairs. Emails from applicants should include:

• The name and location of the conference for which support is sought
• A brief description of the nature of participation. This should be active, e.g. presenting, not just attending
• The nature of the costs for which you are requesting reimbursement (e.g. airfare and accommodation for companion)
• A resume
• A budget that specifies details of the support requested
• Confirmation of SIGWEB membership including dates (a receipt or screenshot of your myACM/My Services page)
