SIGMOD 2011 Travel Grant

ACM SIGMOD has a limited number of travel grants available for undergraduate and graduate students that need financial support in order to attend the 2011 SIGMOD/PODS conference.

Each grant includes a fixed-value travel stipend (up to $1,500). Recipients are required to submit receipts for travel expenses incurred after the conference.

To apply, you must:

(1) Be a full-time student (undergraduate or graduate).

(2) Be a SIGMOD member.

(3) Explain in one short paragraph what is your research and why it would benefit from you attending SIGMOD/PODS.

(4) Explain with one or two sentences why your advisor cannot support you financially to attend the conference.

Please note that:

* you do not need to have an accepted paper to be eligible

* you are not eligible for the need-based grants, if you are an undergraduate student with an accepted poster or a PhD student with a poster accepted to the Innovative Database Research Ph.D. workshop, since you are already receiving a travel grant to attend the conference. The need-based grants are in *addition* to these two other types.
