MAY 22-25, 2023 AT THE HYATT REGENCY, SAN FRANCISCO, CA & ONLINE
44th IEEE Symposium on
Security and Privacy
Student grants are available to partially support full-time students participating in the 44th IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy (S&P). This year, the Symposium is a hybrid event and includes both in-person and virtual (online) participation options for the symposium and co-located workshops. Support for students is available for both those attending in-person (Travel Grant) and virtually (Registration Grant). The travel grant will cover registration fees for the event and may also partially cover the travel expenses for the in-person event.
We encourage applications from students from a wide variety of institutions, diverse backgrounds, and first-time attendees. The majority of the travel grants will be given to students enrolled in U.S. institutions, but we also have funds to cover the participation of a limited number of students from international institutions. Undergraduate and graduate students will be considered for this award.
Unfortunately, we are unable to provide awards to all the applicants. Awards will be determined by a committee of volunteers participating in the organization of the Symposium and the Workshops and chaired by the Student Travel Committee Chair. Preference will be given to students working on security and privacy, students who can show evidence of the financial need to attend the symposium or workshops, students from institutions not traditionally represented at the conference, and students from diverse backgrounds. The awards are not intended for authors of accepted papers or posters, but students with accepted papers will also be considered for travel grant awards. In order to ensure a diverse pool of awardees to the symposium, travel awards will be limited to at most one student per advisor, and at most two students from the same institution. In addition, students who have received a previous travel grant from the IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy in 2019 or 2022 are not eligible for the travel grants. However, they are still eligible for the registration grants to attend virtually.
We will reimburse registration costs and partial travel expenses (hotel, transportation, and meals) for a total of up to $1,300 for domestic students and up to $1,800 for international students. For workshops, we will reimburse registration and partial travel expenses for up to $550 for domestic students and up to $1,000 for international students. If a student is selected to attend both, the workshops and the symposium, the total reimbursement will be up to $1500 for domestic students and up to $2000 for international students. (Exact amounts may vary depending on the number of awards and last-minute donations we receive.) Registration Grant (for online participation; registration type: virtual): We will reimburse the registration cost only for each awardee.
Applications are due by April 5th, 2023. Students will be notified by April 15, 2023 April 17, 2023, and will be expected to register before the early registration deadline of April 22, 2023. Applications submitted outside of the submission period are not guaranteed to be considered. Applications should be submitted by filling out the form:

The student’s statement should include a summary of research interests, and a statement of why the applicant will benefit from participating in the Symposium and/or Workshops. Incomplete applications will not be considered.
