IEEE CASS Student Travel Grants for Financially Co-Sponsored (FCS) Conferences

The amount of financial assistance provided to each student should not exceed $1,500 per student. These grants can only be used as a reimbursement of expenses for travel to CASS Non-Flagship conferences taking place during the year the award is given. Please note, that the final amount given to the awardee will be based on expenses incurred by the student to attend the conference, not to exceed the awarded amount. The awarded amount will be financed through the standard IEEE travel expense reimbursement process.

Selection Criteria:

• CASS Membership: Students must be CASS student members at the time of application and during the conference.

• Paper Acceptance: Students must have had their paper accepted for presentation at the conference they plan to attend. The recipient must attend the conference in-person to present the paper.

• Student Status: Applicants must be an undergraduate or graduate student during the time of the conference.

  • Note: A faculty member is required to confirm the nominee's undergraduate or graduate student status. This should be uploaded to the Faculty Letter field on the application.

• Financial Need: Eligibility will also be based on demonstrated financial needs.

• Annual Limit: An individual is only eligible for this travel support once per calendar year.
