Student Travel Grant

The workshop organizers would like to thank the National Science Foundation (NSF) for their generous support in covering these grants.

Who should apply: We encourage applications from students from a wide variety of institutions and diverse backgrounds. The travel grants will be given to students enrolled in U.S. institutions.

Award Criteria: Given our limited funds, we are unable to provide awards to all applicants. Preference will be given to students working on cyber security, students who can show evidence of financial need to attend the workshop and participate in the CTF, students from institutions not traditionally represented in cyber security, and students from diverse backgrounds.

Award Description: Subject to funding availability and restrictions, we plan to reimburse partial travel expenses (such as flight and hotel) up to a total of $1000 if you are traveling from outside Arizona state. Within the state we plan to reimburse partial travel expenses (such as hotel) up to a total of $500. Exact amounts may vary depending on the amount of funds we have available. Reimbursements will be based on actual documented expenses and organization policies.

How to apply: Applications are due by March 11, 2024. (may change based on when funding is available). Students will be notified by March 18, 2024, about their award decision. Submit an application for the student grant.

An application for a travel award will consist of a single PDF file with the following content.

• The student’s CV

• A statement from the student indicating what are the student’s interests in aviation and aerospace cyber security as well as how the student expects to benefit from attending this workshop.
• A letter of recommendation from the student’s advisor with a justification of the student’s financial need
