Grants are 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. To apply and compete for a travel grant, the student applicant should prepare the following:

All application materials should be submitted electronically here.

To apply for a travel grant, the student applicant should create an account on the submission system and upload the following:

1. The student vita
2. An application letter which should include:
   • The title of his/her accepted MobiCom work (conference/workshop paper, poster or demo, finalist mobile app contest entry).
   • A brief summary of the student research interests and accomplishments to date
   • A description of areas reflected in the MobiCom program that would impact the student's research
   • A statement about why the conference attendance is important to the student
   • An estimate of the following costs of attending MobiCom 2014: airfare, hotel, and conference registration. It is anticipated that travel grants will partially cover these costs of attendance.

A recommendation letter from the advisor of the student applicant is also required. The letter should provide the following:

1. A confirmation that the student is a bona fide Ph.D. candidate or a M.Sc./B.Sc. student in good academic standing at the given institution.
2. An indication about how the student applicant would benefit from attending MobiCom.
3. A description of the student applicant's strengths and potential contributions to the mobile computing and networking field.
4. A statement of financial commitment to pay the remainder of the student applicants' travel cost not covered by the grant.

The advisor's letter should be uploaded directly into the applicant's account. We suggest that the applicant provide their login information to the advisor to do so. The submission site has been designed to keep advisor letters "write-only", i.e., the applicant will not be able to view the uploaded letter in their account.
