Student Grants

A limited number of student grants are available to help pay for travel, accommodations, and registration fees to enable full-time students to attend the conference. Please note that USENIX relies on sponsorship to finance student grants, and funding is strictly limited. We do not guarantee assistance to speakers or participants, and student grants rarely cover complete travel needs. To apply for a grant, see the USENIX student grant Web page. Applications are due by Wednesday, September 28, 2016.
