Student Travel Grants

IEEE GLOBECOM 2017 offers a number of travel grants to students who registered and co-authored an accepted paper in IEEE GLOBECOM 2017 on competition basis. The travel grants are supported by IEEE Comsoc. The travel grants encourage participation by students who would normally find it difficult to attend. Women and minorities will be especially encouraged to apply. These student travel supports will enable sharing scientific information and stimulating research interests for students in the field of communications and networking.
Each Award is up to $500 subject to the travel reimbursement.
