Ph.D. Student Travel Grant

Hurry up!! The Ph.D. Student Travel Grant provides partial financial support for students planning to travel and attend the IEEE AP-S/URSI International Symposium to be held in July 2023, in Portland, OR, USA. This grant is established and sponsored by the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society and administered by the Members and Benefits Committee. It is open to all 1st/2nd year Ph.D. students from any country of residence. This new program will provide awards (each with the amount of 1000 USD) for 20 students. The awards should be used to partially pay for the in-person conference attendance expenses (tickets, hotel accommodation, transportation, registration fee, etc.). The awarded students will receive the amount once they arrive at the conference registration desk at the conference venue.
