Grants are available for full-time students attending colleges and
universities. Women,
undergraduates, and underrepresented minority students are particularly
encouraged
to apply.

To apply for a travel grant, the student applicant should send the
following material to
mobicom.tg2023 at gmail.com:
  - A CV that includes country of origin and country of residence.
  - SIGMOBILE student member number, if the student has one. A SIGMOBILE
student membership
    costs $20 for one year and can be applied for here
<https://www.sigmobile.org/about/membership.html>.
  - An application letter that includes:
      > The titles of any accepted MobiCom work (conference or workshop
papers, posters,
         demonstrations, etc.)
      > Whether the student is a first-time attendee of MobiCom
      > If the student is not a first-time attendee of MobiCom, whether the
student has received a
         MobiCom travel grant in the past
      > A brief summary of the student’s research interests and
accomplishments to date
      > A description of areas reflected in the MobiCom program that would
impact the
         student's research
      > A statement about why attending the conference is important to the
student
      > An estimate of the following costs of attending MobiCom 2023:
transportation
         (e.g., airfare or driving mileage), hotel, and conference
registration. It is anticipated
         that travel grants will partially cover these attendance costs.
Transportation and hotel
         will only be covered for in-person attendees.

A recommendation letter from the advisor of the student applicant is also
required. The letter
should provide the following:
  - A confirmation that the student is a bona fide Ph.D. candidate or a
M.Sc./B.Sc. student
    in good academic standing at the given institution.
  - The impact of the MobiCom program material on the student's research
progress.
  - Other benefits the student would derive from attending the conference.
  - A description of the student applicant's strengths and potential
contributions to the mobile
    computing and networking field.
  - A statement of financial commitment to pay the remainder of the student
applicant's
    travel cost not covered by the grant.

The advisor's letter should be sent to mobicom.tg2023 at gmail.com directly by
the advisor.

* Selection Criteria *

Selection will be based on student merit qualifications (e.g., paper
authorship) and financial
need (e.g., travel distance/cost from home campus, availability of grant
funds, etc). Special
consideration will be given to women, undergraduates, underrepresented
minorities, and
first-time attendees.

* Grants Requirements/Restrictions *

  - The full application package (by the student and the advisor) should be
received on or
    before Aug 25, 2023.
  - By accepting the travel grants, students are committing to submit a
summary of the
    experiences and outcomes of attending the conference.
  - Student travel grants are meant to partially cover the cost of
attending and participating
    in MobiCom 2023. The only travel expenses that can be reimbursed are
accommodation,
    advance conference registration, and transportation (airfare, driving,
etc.).
  - For NSF Grants: These grants are available only for full-time students
attending US
    colleges and universities (not necessarily US citizens or permanent
residents) AND for US
    citizens or permanent residents studying abroad.
  - Recipients of NSF travel awards must use US flag carriers.

We look forward to your submissions. Please feel free to contact us with
