NEW! We offer travel scholarships to attend STOC 2024.
TCS for All Travel Scholarships are intended for researchers at the beginning of their career. This scholarship is being made available for minorities in TCS, and anyone who identifies as such is welcome to apply; this scholarship is open to both US and international students. Preference will be given to students at the beginning of their studies. If we have sufficient funding, we will give awards to more senior students and possibly even postdocs.
To apply, you will need to fill out the following form by April 28th, 2024 (11:59 pm PDT) in which you provide basic information about yourself, an estimate of your expenses, and a brief statement:
Apply for a travel grant here.
In addition, you will need to have your advisor (or department head or other faculty mentor if you do not yet have an advisor) send a letter of support to tcswomen@gmail.com by April 28th. Your advisor’s letter should also describe the availability of other travel funds. Note for advisors: Specifics about alternative funding are very helpful. Statements like “funding is tight” are not very helpful. This letter should be sent with subject line “support letter for [your name]”. This is very important. Your application is not complete without this letter.
Late applications (after April 28th) will not be accepted. You will be notified about your status by May 5th, which is prior to the STOC early registration deadline and hotel cut-off deadline.
Notes: Receipts will be required for all travel awards, and reimbursements will be made after the conference. Food or visa expenses will not be reimbursed.
