IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy
Travel Support Grants
The IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Security and Privacy would
like encourage student participation in the Symposium by
subsidizing the travel costs of individuals who would otherwise be
unable to attend the conference.
Applications are due: March 30, 2006
Who should apply
Any student in good standing may apply, regardless of nationality, or
any other criteria, except as noted, may apply. The decisions will be
based as much as possible on both what the individual may get from the
conference and may bring to the conference. IEEE TC SP will cover
student registration costs and subsidize travel costs. The total
subsidy will be approximately $250-$400. There will be up to seven (7)
awardees.
While any student may apply for this travel support, the selection
process will give preference to IEEE Security and Privacy 2006 paper
authors who are doctoral students without sufficient travel
funding. The awardees cannot receive support from any other source for
the expenses funded by this program.
How to apply
Applications and supporting letters for a student travel grant should
be emailed to the grant committee at studentgrant@ieee-security.org, as soon as possible,
but no later than midnight on March 30, 2006. Award announcements will be made
around April 15, 2006.
An application is a paragraph of less than 300 words stating why
attending IEEE S&P 2006 be useful for his or her research.
This paragraph should include:
- the applicant's name
- the type of paper (if any) she or he will present at IEEE S&P
2006, regular or short paper
- the applicant's school
We also need a short note from the student's advisor, mentioning the
student by name and indicating why the advisor believes the student
would benefit from attending IEEE S&P and confirming that the
student is a doctoral candidate in good standing, and that the
department is willing to pay for the student's transportation and
lodging and to receive the award check from the symposium to offset
the cost.
Please contact the committee via studentgrant@ieee-security.org for any further information.
