www.nsf.gov. This funding is available only for full time students attending US
colleges and universities (not necessarily US citizens or permanent residents).
Minority and women students from diverse institutions are particularly
encouraged to apply. Although student authors will be given priority for travel
awards, however, this is not a requirement. Post-doctoral students may also be
considered for support on a case-by-case basis. To be el!

EDAS no later than February 8, 2013. To apply for this travel support, please

that: a. You are currently a graduate (research) student in good standing,
working in areas related to pervasive computing. b. You will be attending the
entire PerCom conference (workshops, if appropriate). c. The remainder of your
travel support will be covered (indicate how). 2. Write a personal statement
describing your research interests and how you wish to benefit from attending
PerCom 2013, student status, and location you will be traveling from. 3. Upload
the above documents, along with your two-page CV, on EDAS (http://edas.info).
After logging into EDAS, click the "Travel Grant" tab at your EDAS home page,
and then select "PerCom 2013 NSF Student Travel Grant". Please note that the
PerCom conference may not be able to reimburse you for all !
of your travel expenses due to limited budget. Eligible expenses for r
eimbursement include advance student registration, hotel, and travel (air, car,
or train). Expenses that are not eligible for reimbursement include regular
and/or on-site registration, meals, and local transportation (taxis, shuttles,
parking, etc.). Student travel grants are available in the form of
reimbursements that are sent only after the completion of the conference and
receipt of all required documentation and receipts. The reimbursement amount
will be based on the number of awards and distance traveled, and will be capped
at $1,000 per student. For any questions, please contact the IEEE PerCom 2013
