Eligibility Criteria

Applications are invited from qualified any full-time students registered toward a Bachelors, Masters, or Ph.D. degree in a college or university when submitting the application.

Selection Criteria

The following criteria will be used in the selection process:

Preference will be given to applicants that do not present a paper in the conference. The rationale for this criterion is that the participation costs for a presenting author should be covered by their home institution.
Evidence of a serious interest in networking, as demonstrated by coursework and/or project experience, will be required. Advanced students close to graduation or in the job market will also be given priority, when possible.
We also encourage participation of women and under-represented minorities. Special attention will be given to applicants from minority-serving institutions.
After giving priority to the above criteria, (co-)authors of papers may be considered but will be given lower priority.
