STUDENT TRAVEL GRANT 

As we have very limited time to process applications and to make decisions on the student travel grant awards, please read this email carefully and take the appropriate actions in time, and the application deadline is final with no extension at all. 

Eligibility of STG:

a) The applicant student must be a co-author of an accepted paper in IEEE GLOBECOM 2011. 
b) The applicant student must be full-time students registered toward a Bachelors, Masters, or Ph.D. degree in computer science, engineering or related field in a college or university when submitting their applications, and must not receive funding for attending the conference from other sources.
c) During the expense reimbursement stage, the student must show the proof of having registered to attend the IEEE GLOBECOM 2011 conference.

b)  IEEE GLOBECOM 2011 features 20-25 student travel grant awards in the range of $500-1000. A student who is awarded a student travel grant must attend the conference in person. The student must register, attend, and present the paper (if the student is a co-author) at the conference.  Payment will only be made to the student as long as the award recipient submits the expense report (with receipts) within 45 days after the conference. More details will be provided to the students who are selected to receive the STG award.
