Travel Support for Students
SoCS is a student-friendly event. We strongly encourage students to attend.
Students can apply for travel support by contacting the conference chairs. We are hoping to assign on the order of $1000 to each student we can support, but the final amount will depend on the number and strength of applications. To apply, please write an email to the conference chairs indicating that you would like to apply for travel support and provide the following information:
- full name
- type of degree you are studying towards (PhD, MSc, etc.)
- institution at which you are pursuing your degree
- name and email address of PhD advisor, if applicable
- role at the symposium (present a full paper, present a research abstract, etc.)
- whether you have received travel support to attend SoCS in the past
If you are studying at a U.S. institution or hold a U.S. citizenship, please also clearly indicate this, since some of our travel funds have been provided by the NSF and are limited to students satisfying these criteria. Please note that the NSF also requires that you fly with a U.S. carrier to be eligible for support, so please take this into account when making your travel arrangements.
