Student ScholarshipsNew: application deadline extended to 10
September.
(Early registration deadline extended to 18 September The ACM Special Interest Group on Operating Systems, in conjunction with the ACM Student Research Competition, and with additional financial support from HP Labs and the National Science Foundation, will offer a limited number of student scholarships to attend SOSP. Scholarships will be awarded by the scholarship committee based on a combination of need and merit. Each scholarship covers the SOSP conference registration, including meals and proceedings, and a shared hotel room during the conference. Additional funding may be awarded toward the cost of travel. Students receiving scholarships must agree to serve as a session scribe (if required) during the conference. Who should applyFunding is available to all students at educational institutions, world-wide. Members of groups historically under-represented at SOSP are especially encouraged to apply.Applicants are encouraged to participate in the poster session and work-in-progress presentations. Posters as well as student-authored papers can receive further recognition (and cash awards) through participation in the Student Research Competition (SRC). Approximately 45% of the funding for student scholarships is coming from the SRC this year. Participation in the SRC is not required in order to apply for a student scholarship, but it may increase your chances of success. Although most applicants in past years have been graduate students, undergraduates who are actively involved in systems research projects are welcome to apply, and in fact there is a special division of the SRC specifically for undergraduates.
Applicants must be members of the ACM.
See the ACM site for a student
membership application.
Note that ACM provides reduced rates for
students residing in economically developing countries.
