AAMAS 2014 Student Travel Support

We are delighted to announce funding for student travel support. The
purpose is to enable graduate students to travel and participate in the
conference. To be eligible, you must:
        • be registered as a full-time student at a higher education
institution (e.g. University); AND
        • be explicitly listed as an author of a paper accepted for
AAMAS-14 (full or extended abstract).


The order of priority for awards is as follows:
        • students presenting a full paper accepted at the main conference
        • students presenting a paper in the Challenges and Visions track
        • students presenting at the doctoral consortium
        • students presenting posters at the main conference

If funds remain, students authors of workshop papers will also be
considered. To the extent that funds allow, we also hope to support
students whose research will benefit from attendance at the conference.

We anticipate different levels of funding based on geographic location
(distance to conference venue, underrepresented regions), level of
participation, and so on, covering most of the travel costs. We
particularly encourage student scholarship applications from
underrepresented regions.

Application
To apply, you are required to complete the Student Scholarship Application
Form at
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1xZfQlS06XI-c_PCA9piCObI7A3exroglQumep0k8dTQ/viewform
You will need to provide your participation details for AAMAS-14 as well as
a pdf with a scanned student ID card certifying you are registered as a
full-time student.
Please note that participation in the student scholarship program carries
with it an obligation to be a student volunteer during the conference and,
in the case of US applicants, to participate in the doctoral mentoring
consortium .

Student volunteers are often used to provide support in the various
conference rooms in case of problems (e.g., projector failure, etc).

Please submit your application by January 29, 2014 (11:59pm, Hawaii time)
via the web form shown above. We will notify you of your application
decision by February 21 (in case of workshop authors March 21).
