A limited number of student travel grants are available for students from
US-based institutions to attend ACM SenSys 2018 or its affiliated
conference/workshop/events. Women and minorities will receive the highest
priority with research interests in wireless sensor networks and
sensor-enabled smart systems.


****IMPORTANT DATES****

- Application deadline: September 27, 2018, 11:59pm Eastern Time

- Notification of acceptance: October 1, 2018


****ELIGIBILITY****

The support is intended to partially cover the costs of attending the
conference. The costs include conference registration, transportation,
lodging, and meals. Students receiving travel awards may be expected to
volunteer at SenSys 2018. Such volunteer tasks will not interfere with
attendance at the conference sessions. Selection for the student travel
grants will be in accordance with the following guidelines:

- The applicant must be a current student at a recognized US institution of
higher education.

- The applicant’s field of study must be related to SenSys topics.

- Priority will be given to female and under-represented students, as well
as students pursuing their graduate studies in minority-serving
institutions, such as historically African-American Universities, Hispanic
serving institutions, Tribal colleges, and Universities, and institutions
that serve Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and persons with
disabilities.

- Student authors and presenters who do not have the financial support to
attend the conference.

- Students from under-represented states and institutions are specifically
encouraged to apply.

- Consideration will be given to other applicants falling outside the above
categories, but they need to demonstrate a well-justified financial need.


****HOW TO APPLY****

1. The student applicant must fill up the application form here (link).

2. The student should request her academic/research advisor to send an
email to [log in to unmask] with the subject "ACM SenSys Travel Award
Support Letter" and no more than a few sentence response to each question
below (bullet point response appreciated for each question below in your
letter):

a. Name of the student applicant and degree program enrolled this semester.

b. Does the student belong to a group that is under-represented in the
STEM? If yes, describe.

c. Is your institution a minority-serving or an under-represented
institution or in an under-represented state? If yes, describe.

d. If the student is presenting a paper, did the paper result from a funded
project? If yes, please state the title of the paper and the source of
funding.

e. If the student receives this travel award, will you or your institution
cover the costs that exceed the award?

f. Do you strongly support the application of this student for this travel
award?

Please provide any statements in support of this application. Successful
applicants will receive an award letter by e-mail together with
instructions on how to receive partial refunds, which will be issued to the
person or institution that covered the expenses. Note that the student’s
institution or advisor is expected to cover the remaining expenses for the
travel if the NSF budget does not completely cover it.
