Student Travel Awards for ACM SIGSPATIAL 2025

The ACM SIGSPATIAL 2025 Conference organizers are excited to announce the 2025 travel awards to help potential attendees with travel and conference costs. The funds for the grants come from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) Award No. 2533214, conference sponsors, and ACM SIGSPATIAL. The link for the application (see below) will serve as the central entry point for all travel grant applications for our conference.

Selection Criteria

  • The applicant for the travel grants must be a student (graduate, undergraduate, or high school) or an early career researcher (0-3 years since graduation). Applicants can be based in any country, but eligibility varies across funding sources.

  • The travel grants will be based on two sources:

  • NSF Travel Grants (approx. 25 awards, up to $1000 USD): to be eligible, the applicant must be a student (graduate or undergraduate) enrolled at a US post-secondary institution.

  • ACM SIGSPATIAL Travel Grants (limited funding available): The grants are for all applicants. Priority will be given to non-US students or early career researchers and first-time attendees.

  • Priority will be given to student authors and early career researchers with accepted full research papers at the main conference at ACM SIGSPATIAL 2025.

  • The recipients must register and attend the full conference.

  • The funding will be used for travel-related support only.
