IEEE Computer Society TCDP Travel Support Grants

IEEE Computer Society's Technical Committee on Distributed Processing (TCDP, which sponsors ICDCS), would like encourage graduate student participation in the ICDCS conference and affiliated workshops by partially or fully funding the travel costs of individuals who would otherwise be unable to attend the conference.

Who should apply

Any graduate student who is co-author on a regular ICDCS paper, regardless of nationality, may apply. Graduate students with only workshop papers are not eligible for this grant. TCDP will pay travel and accommodation costs up to $1,000 based on the need. However, full conference registration is required for each awardee. We anticipate twelve (12) and fifteen (15) awards. The selection process will give preference to graduate students without sufficient travel funding.

How to apply


Applications and supporting letters for a student travel grant should be emailed to Professor Jie Wu at jie@cse.fau.edu and cc to Wei Lou at wlou@cse.fau.edu, as soon as possible, but no later than April 1, 2003. Award announcements will be made around April 15, 2003. Applications should include:

1. The application should include the title of the paper and the need for the travel grant (air fare and other anticipated cost).

2. Applicant's school: we want to balance funding students in U.S. schools and those in non-U.S. schools.

3. A letter of recommendation from the student's advisor: The advisor should clarify whether other sources of funding are available.
