Eligibility Criteria
To qualify for this travel grant, the applicant must be a graduate student in an accredited US institution. The applicant does not need to have a paper accepted in the conference.

The final award is contingent upon the recipient showing a proof of registration.

FAQs
- Should I merge my advisor's recommendation letter with my application together to submit to EDAS?
No. You will need to provide the email address of your advisor when you submit the application. Your advisor will then receive a separate email from EDAS to instruct him/her to submit the recommendation letter to EDAS.
