Introduction to the Program:
The purpose of the “Graduate Student Travel Grant Program” at the 2024 International Conference on Smart Grid Synchronized Measurements & Analytics (SGSMA) is to encourage graduate students’ attendance and presentation of their research to a broad audience from industry, government and academia. The program provides free registration and accommodation for the selected students. Students whose paper or poster are accepted are given priority in the final selection. The number of the student travel grants is limited and the awardees will be selected on the first come first serve basis.
In selecting the awardees, the following criteria will be used:
- Membership in the IEEE.
- Authors/co-authors of accepted papers or poster presentation.
- First-time attendees or attendees from under-represented groups.
- Recommendation and support from the faculty Advisor.
Selected awardees will receive:
- 4-night complimentary housing at the conference hotel in a room shared with another student of the same gender.
- A full conference registration waiver.
Students and their Advisors are expected to secure additional funding from other sources to support travel and subsistence costs.
How to Proceed:
- Submit an application through the application portal below.
- Ask your Advisor to submit a recommendation and acknowledgment of the financial support for your travel to the conference.
Selections are made by the SGSMA2024 organizing committee; all decisions are final. A letter for the purpose of Visa application acknowledging the grant will be issued as requested.
