Travel Grants PDF Print E-mail

With generous support from U.S. National Science Foundation, ACM SIGARCH, IEEE TC on Computer Architecture, and Google Inc., ISCA-39 will offer travel grants for students to attend the conference and defray their traveling cost. The size and number of these grants will vary depending on funding availability, the number of student applicants, and their respective priority. Expenses will be reimbursed after the conference; grant recipients will be asked to submit original receipts later to our finance chair.

 

While we encourage all in need of a travel to apply, the travel grant will be made available, in particular, to paper student presenters, paper student co-authors, under-represented minority students and the disabled students with higher priority. Also, certain funds will be available to ACM SIGARCH student members and IEEE TCCA members only. We highly encourage students to join SIGARCH and TCCA to be given higher priority. SIGARCH offers an online membership for $2.
