ACM HotMobile 2020 that will take place during  March 3-4, 2020 in Austin
Texas, is pleased to announce the availability of Student Travel Grant.

https://hotmobile.org/2020/index.php?id=travel

Deadline: March 1st, 2020

Travel support will provide up to $800 per domestic student and up to
$1,500 per international student to help cover the cost of the student's
travel. Although student authors of HotMobile 2020 papers who are also
presenting posters will be given priority for travel awards, we will
seriously consider applications from presenters of solely posters and
demos, as well as students who have not previously attended HotMobile and
do not have a presentation/poster/etc. We strongly encourage the
participation from women, underrepresented minorities, persons with
disabilities, or persons from developing countries. Some of the awardees
will be selected to play visible roles in the organization and running of
ACM HotMobile 2020, including registration desk duties and/or writing and
publishing a workshop summary.

*Applications for the travel award should be completed by filling out the
