STUDENT TRAVEL GRANTS

Sponsored by NSF and IEEE

The RTSS 2018 conference organizers anticipate the availability of Student Travel Grants to support the participation of students in RTSS 2018 events. Each grant will contribute towards partial reimbursement of registration and travel costs. A budget of 19k$ is available this year for travel grants.

Important Dates

Application Deadline: November 2nd 2018

Eligibility

The award of the travel grants will be in accordance with the following guidelines:

  • The applicant must have a fully-paid student registration for RTSS and must physically attend the conference.
