Student Travel GrantThe purpose of the IEEE ICNP Student Travel Grant Program (funded by NSF) is to encourage PhD student participation in the conference by partially funding the travel costs of PhD students who would otherwise be unable to attend. Only US-based PhD students are eligible for travel grant. As such, preference for grants will be given to PhD students who satisfy one or more of the following criteria:
Applications are accepted from students at PhD degree granting institutions in the US. Applications are expected to show evidence of a serious interest in networking, as demonstrated by coursework and project experience. ICNP particularly encourages the participation of women and under-represented minorities. Application ProcessAn application for a student travel award includes a letter from the student and a supporting letter from the student's advisor.
How to apply?The applications for travel grant must be submitted through EDAS. Please log into EDAS, select 'Travel Grants' from the top menu, and search for ICNP. Please enter the email address or EDAS id of your advisor and an email will be sent to her/him for a recommendation letter. Please upload your application (cv, grades, and other materials) as *one PDF file* in EDAS. Important dates
Travel grant detailsThe amount of support provided to each student is intended to defray but not necessary cover all the costs incurred by students towards registration, travel, and lodging at the conference hotel. We do not anticipate making any awards exceeding $750, which leaves either $400 or $475 for travel and lodging. Students are strongly encouraged to secure additional funding from other sources if their anticipated travel and lodging costs are significantly higher than this limit. The travel award will be handled via reimbursements. For any expense that is covered, a receipt is required (e.g., airfare and hotel receipts). The reimbursement will be sent as a check via snail mail six to eight weeks after receipt of reimbursement forms. Details will be communicated to award recipients. Important note about reimbursementFor reimbursement, the student must submit the following information:
All of the above information must be sent by postal mail to: Every student must provide all original receipts and copies of relevant documentation. Plan accordingly: if planning to use airfare as a source of reimbursement, ask for a duplicate receipt upon check-in at the airport; if planning to use hotel costs as a source of reimbursement, ask for a duplicate receipt before or at check-out. (These two sources of expenses, plus the conference registration fee, are expected to be more than sufficient to cover the award amount.) An application for this travel grant is an implicit acceptance of these terms. Committee
