Student Travel Grants

ACM SIGACT is pleased to provide funds to support student attendance at STOC 2026. These travel awards are for students who are short on funds and are intended to help cover their registration, travel, and accommodation expenses. An advisor may support the applications of at most two students for a travel award. This support is funded by the US National Science Foundation and is only available for students attending US universities.

To apply, you will need to fill out the following form by May 13th, 2026 in which you provide basic information about yourself, an estimate of your expenses, and a brief statement:

Apply for a travel grant here.

In addition, you will need to have your advisor send a letter of support to amcgrego@umass.edu by May 13th, 2026. Your advisor's letter should also describe the availability of other travel funds. This letter should be sent with subject line "Support letter for [student name]". This is very important. Your application is not complete without this letter.

Late applications (after May 13th, 2026) will not be accepted. You will be notified about your status by May 18th.

Notes: Receipts will be required for all travel awards, and reimbursements will be made after the conference. Food or visa expenses will not be reimbursed.
