Student Scholarship

Eurosys, with generous donations from conference sponsors, offers several grants to enable students to attend the conference.

Each scholarship covers the Eurosys conference registration, including meals and proceedings, and a hotel room during the conference. There may be funding for travel expenses.

Scholarships will be awarded by the scholarship committee based on a combination of need and merit.

Students receiving scholarships need to agree to serve as a session scribe (if required) during the conference. Applicants are encouraged to participate in the poster session and work-in-progress presentations.

Who should apply

Funding is available to all students at educational institutions, world-wide.

Applicants must be members of Eurosys.

How to apply

To apply you should submit the following:

1. A fully filled-out Eurosys Student Scholarship Application. The application form appears below.
2. A letter of recommendation from the your advisor, supporting the application, which must cover the technical merit of your participation.
3. A short position paper written by you explaining what benefit is expected from attending the conference and why the scholarship should be granted. The statement should describe any research you have been doing and list any papers you have published. It should be no longer than three pages. Student authors who will be presenting accepted papers do not need to submit a position paper.

Applications have to be in plain text (no attachments, simple ASCII text in the body of your message), in English, and submitted by email to scholarships@eurosys.org. The advisor's statement should be sent separately from the student's application, and should indicate the student's name in the 'Subject' line.
