To apply for a scholarship, use the "Request a Scholarship" button on your User Menu Page .
There are a limited number of partial scholarships available. Those receiving scholarships will have their
conference registration fee waived and be provided with a room to be shared with another scholarship recipient
during the 4 conference nights. There is no funding available for travel, food or other expenses.
Scholarships will be awarded to individuals in financial need who can make an important contribution by
attending the conference. That contribution may be to the conference community, or your home community.
Preference is given to people presenting during the conference, either during the regular sessions, at the PhD
Colloquium or for special pre- or post-conference activities. In addition to financial need, scholarships are
awarded based on evaluation of written work. You are encouraged to submit a paper to the main conference or
the PhD Colloquium. If you do not you will need to submit a scholarship evaluation paper. To do this select paper
type "Other" from the main Submission System page then, in the notes field at the bottom, add "Scholarship
Review Submission."
If you would like to apply for a scholarship please use the web submission system to provide us with a short
paragraph describing why you need the support, and what you think is special about the contribution you will
make to the conference, or take home from the conference to your community. In reviewing scholarship
applications we will have access to the paper or papers you may have submitted, so you do not need to repeat
that content.
Scholarship applications are due on or before the "Notification of acceptance" date (approximately mid-May)
published in the Call for Papers. If you are awarded a scholarship you will be contacted soon after the
notifications of paper acceptances have been sent.
