Student Scholarship

PACMI '24, through generous donations fromour sponsors, will offer scholarships to assist students attending the workshop. Each scholarship reimburses the SOSP Workshop Day registration and may reimburse ground/air travel to/from the conference and lodging expenses during the conference.

Scholarship students are expected to assist the workshop organizers in some way. For example, scholarship students may be asked to scribe a technical session or help with a town hall at the workshop. These services are greatly appreciated, and provide additional networking opportunities with other participants. Actual duties will be assigned as the workshop nears.

These funds are limited and will be based on a combination of need and merit. Scholarship recipient contact information will be made available to the organizations sponsoring the scholarships.

Who Should Apply?

Funding is available to students (graduate and undergraduate) from any educational institution in the world. We especially encourage students from underrepresented communities to apply.

Applicants must be members of the ACM. See the ACM website for a student membership application. Note that ACM provides significantly reduced rates for students.

How to Apply?

To apply you should submit the following:

1. A PACMI student scholarship application and supporting materials through the scholarship application form which includes: 

   • A short position statement. This position statement should explain the expected benefit of attending the conference. The statement should describe any research that the student has done, and list any published papers. This statement should be no longer than 300 words.

   • Student's CV.

2. A letter of recommendation from the student's advisor. This letter must describe the technical appropriateness of the student's participation, and any partial support from other sources (e.g., the student's institution) available to cover the costs of the student's attendance at PACMI. Advisors writing letters for multiple students should include an explicit comparison of how each student would benefit from a scholarship. The advisor should submit the plaintext letter separately, by submitting this online form.
