TCPP Awards

      Student Travel Assistance Grants for IPDPS, HiPC, ICPADS, DS-RT, PerComm, PACT, and various PhD Forums:

      A number of travel assistance grants are available through the IPDPS sponsor, the IEEE Computer Society's Technical Committee on Parallel Processing. Priority will be given to individuals who would otherwise be unable to attend and to students presenting their own published work. To qualify for a TCPP student travel assistance grant, a recipient must be:

      • author of an accepted conference or workshop paper or PhD Forum poster who has registered for the conference;
      • a Student Member of IEEE Computer Society/IEEE at the time he/she submits an application;
      • and a full-time student regularly registered toward a degree in computer science, engineering or related field in a university. 

      To apply for a grant, you will have to submit a completed application form by mentioned date.

      Outstanding Service Award

      This is to recognize those individuals in the broader community who have had major professional service roles in conferences (TCPP and others), journals, various committees, major events, community resources, and international outreach, and those who have had major impact on the community at large in possibly other ways.
