Student Travel Grant Information

Hurry Up!! Applications are now open for a student travel grants worth $1,000 USD.
ICCAD recognizes that presenting research at our conference is an important aspect of a student’s professional, educational, and research development. Further, student involvement in our conferences is fundamental to our development as a research community. This travel grant provides a mechanism to allow more students with a demonstrated financial need to attend our conferences. The ICCAD Student Travel Grant program is intended to enable students who lack other support opportunities to attend ICCAD conferences. This travel grant is intended to support students whose intention is to present at ICCAD, not just attend. Our first priority is to offer provisional grants to students before they submit papers so that if a submission is accepted, the student can count on having a grant awarded for travel to the conference. Our second priority is to offer grants to students who have papers and other publications accepted for the conference.

Students are expected to apply for a student travel grant if interested. If successful, they will receive a provisional grant, dependent on them having a publication accepted for the conference.

Eligibility

The grant is for students who hope to present their work at ICCAD. The work in question may have other co-authors, and the co-authors don’t need to be students; it is mandatory that the student be involved in presenting the work. Other eligibility requirements are:
