<span class="">MobiSys 2018 is pleased to provide student travel
grants to broaden the participation in the main conference and
co-located events (Workshops, Ph.D. Forum, Poster/Demo sessions,
etc.). Funds for these travel grants are provided by the US
National Science Foundation (NSF) and ACM SIGMOBILE. While the
NSF grants are available only for full-time undergraduate and
graduate students attending US colleges and universities (not
necessarily US citizens or permanent residents), the ACM
SIGMOBILE grants are available for International/US full-time
undergraduate and graduate students. Priority will be given to
students who will benefit from attending the MobiSys main
conference and its co-located events, but are unlikely to attend
due to the unavailability of travel
funding. Underrepresented minorities and female students, as
well as first-time attendees that do not have a paper at the
conference, are particularly encouraged to apply.<br class="">
<br class="">
</span><span class="">Applications for the Student Travel Grant
should be sent electronically as a single PDF attachment to the
Mobisys 2018 Student Travel Grant Chairs, at <a
href="mailto:mobisys18stg@googlegroups.com" class="">mobisys18stg@googlegroups.com</a>, by
April 30, 2018. The subject line of the email should be MobiSys
2018 Student Travel Grant [US] if applicants are from
US institutions. The subject line of the email should be MobiSys
2018 Student Travel Grant [International] if applicants are from
institutions outside US. A complete application should consist
of the student's CV, a short personal statement (maximum one
page), and a supporting letter from the student's advisor.
The supporting letter can be merged with the student application
in the same pdf file (preferred option) or sent as a separate
pdf file by the student’s advisor to the Student Travel Grant
Chairs, at <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:mobisys18stg@googlegroups.com">mobisys18stg@googlegroups.com</a>.<br class="">
