following material to

accomplishments to date

student
> An estimate of the following costs of attending MobiCom 2023:

that travel grants will partially cover these attendance costs.
Transportation and hotel
will only be covered for in-person attendees.
A recommendation letter from the advisor of the student applicant is also
required. The letter
should provide the following:
- A confirmation that the student is a bona fide Ph.D. candidate or a
M.Sc./B.Sc. student
in good academic standing at the given institution.

progress.

- A description of the student applicant's strengths and potential
contributions to the mobile
computing and networking field.
- A statement of financial commitment to pay the remainder of the student
applicant's
travel cost not covered by the grant.
The advisor's letter should be sent to mobicom.tg2023@gmail.com directly by
the advisor.
* Selection Criteria *
Selection will be based on student merit qualifications (e.g., paper
authorship) and financial
need (e.g., travel distance/cost from home campus, availability of grant
funds, etc). Special
consideration will be given to women, undergraduates, underrepresented
minorities, and
first-time attendees.
* Grants Requirements/Restrictions *
- The full application package (by the student and the advisor) should be
received on or
before Aug 25, 2023.

summary of the

advance conference registration, and transportation (airfare, driving,
etc.).
