Student Travel Grants
The organizing committee of the 2013 IEEE Workshop on Applications of Signal Processing to Audio and Acoustics is pleased to announce the availability of 2 travel grants, each of 1000 USD, to selected students to attend the conference to be held in Mohonk Mountain House, New Paltz, NY, October 20 – 23, 2013. These grants are funded by Google and Starkey. It will help to partially cover the cost of the student’s travel, lodging, and registration fees.
We encourage students with and without an accepted paper to apply. We further encourage applications from women, underrepresented minorities, and other under-represented groups of students. Note that awardees will need to pay for their expenses ahead of time and get reimbursed after attending the conference.
