<br>
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>
<br>
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 class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="mailto:mobisys18stg@googlegroups.com">mobisys18stg@googlegroups.com</a>

href="mailto:mobisys18stg@googlegroups.com"><mailto: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>
<br>
The student's short personal statement (maximum one page) should
include: <br>
• The title of his/her accepted MobiSys work (conference/workshop
paper, poster/demo, PhD forum) - if the student is an author. <br>
• A brief summary of research interests and accomplishments to date.
<br>
• A description of areas reflected in the MobiSys 2018 program that
would affect the student's research. <br>
• Importance of attending the conference to the student's research
activities. <br>
• An estimate of the following costs of attending MobiSys 2018:
airfare, hotel, and conference registration. It is anticipated that
travel grants will partially cover these attendance costs. <br>
<br>
The supporting letter from the student’s advisor should include: <br>
• Confirmation that the student is in good standing. Note: We will
accept applications from Ph.D., Masters, and undergraduate students
working on relevant research problems. <br>
• The suitability of MobiSys 2018 program to the student's research
area. <br>
• Ways in which attending the conference would benefit the
particular student. <br>
• The strengths and potential contributions of the student. <br>
• A statement of financial commitment to pay the remainder of the
student applicant’s travel cost not covered by the grant. <br>
<br>
The MobiSys 2018 Student Travel grant committee will review
applications, and the awards will be announced by May 7, 2018. The
reimbursement amount will be capped at $1500 per student; student
advisors are expected to cover the remainder of the travel cost.
Items the travel grant can cover include conference registration
fee, hotel expenses, and air tickets (recipients of NSF travel
awards must use US flag carriers). Note that, by accepting the
travel grants, students are committing to submit a summary of the
experiences and outcomes of attending the conference. <br>
