Award Applications

Student Travel Awards will be available for students attending KDD-2008. Awards will provide partial funding for travel and registration expenses. A limited number of additional monetary assistance for registration expenses is available to those awardees willing to help with organizational tasks during the conference. To be eligible for the award, a student must:

• Be an author (or co-author) of an accepted paper at the main KDD-2008 conference. (Workshop papers are not eligible.)
• Be a full-time student at the time of paper acceptance
• Attend KDD-2008 in order to receive the award check
• Be available to help with organizational tasks during the conference

Award selection will consider the authorship of the paper (sole, first, or co-author) and the format for presentation (long, short, poster) and will be limited by available funds.

Applications should consist of:

1. This completed form
2. The title page of the accepted KDD-2008 paper(s)
3. Proof of full-time student status (e.g. proof of full-time registration status for current semester)

Applications must be received by June 9, 2008. Late applications will not be accepted. Acceptance decisions, including the magnitude of the award, will be made by June 17, 2008.
