Approximately 14 student travel awards will be provided to CCGrid 2020 attendees (pending on NSF approval). The award will fund the costs of student's hotel accommodations, registration, and flight ticket (from U.S Carrier only). Expenses that are not eligible for reimbursement include taxi and meals. The amount of the grants will be based in part on student travel requirements and on availability of funds, with total up to $1500 USD for each student. Notice of grants awarded will be made prior to the conference. The grants will be distributed post-conference in the form of reimbursements against actual travel and accommodations expenses submitted by the student (Students will be reimbursed for expenses directly incurred by them and receipts are required for reimbursement)
