Student Grants

ICST 2008 will provide financial support to students to help defray part of the costs of attending the conference. The funds can be used to assist with expenses incurred attending the conference. Due to limited funding, we can grant only a limited number of students, each of which is expected not to exceed the amount of 500 euro.

The funds can only be used to pay for:

• travel expenses to and from the conference
• hotel expenses at the conference
• conference registration

To be eligible to receive the ICST 2008 Student Grant, all the following criteria must be true:

• The applicant must be enrolled in a B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. program on the conference dates,
• The applicant must have an accepted paper at the conference.

To apply for the ICST 2008 Student Grant, the student must submit the following application materials:

1. A resume, (which should include the information of the student's paper that is being presented at the conference)
2. A budget of the requested fund and brief justification on the need of the requested fund
3. A brief note from the student's advisor or department chair supporting the application.

For being refunded, the selected students will have to submit receipts and a conference summary with not less than 1500 words.

The selection will be based on the student resume (merit-based) and by the student economical needs (need-based).
