Claim process

We review applications on a rolling basis, all year round, therefore you will get our reply within three weeks of applying. Please note that given the high volume of applications, we will not be sending decision emails to applicants who do not meet our review criteria. For example: If you have a workshop paper at a CS conference or a full paper at a non-CS conference, we will not be in a position to reply.

Once approved for a travel scholarship, the funds will be paid to the applicant’s university and the student may claim expenses using regular university procedures.
