Student Travel Grants

On a competitive basis, IEEE GLOBECOM 2019 offers a number of travel grants to students who have registered and co-authored an accepted peer-reviewed paper for the conference. The US National Science Foundation and IEEE ComSoc sponsor the travel grants. These travel grants encourage participation by students who would normally find it difficult to attend. Women, minorities, beginning graduate students, and first time GLOBECOM attendees, are especially encouraged to apply. No more than one student per institution will be supported. No postdocs, faculty, or other senior research personnel may be supported by the grant. These student travel grants will enable sharing scientific information and stimulating research interests for students in the field of communications and networking.
