Overview
ACM SIGDA Travel Grants are awarded based on need and hardship. In a typical year,
5-10 travel grants are awarded, depending on the number of applicants and the
available program funding. Travel grants typically cover early conference registration
only.
- For faculty applicants, letters of financial need from their Chair and Dean
are required.
- For student applicants, letters of financial need from their Advisor, Chair,
and Dean are required.
- This can be one letter signed by all three.
- An application is not considered complete until both letters and
electronic on-line form are received.
- For full consideration, Travel Grant electronic applications must
be submitted 60 days before the event.
- Travel Grant applications submitted less than 60 days before the
event may not receive full review.
- Incomplete applications may not receive any acknowledgment.
- Travel Grant awards are announced 45 to 30 days before the event.
- Travel Grant funds are limited; not all who apply will receive support.
- Limits exist on the number and amount that any one individual, institution,
academic advisor, or conference may receive.
- Individuals, institutions, and academic advisors who have not received
a travel grant are given priority.

who are:

who have
