As part of NSF's commitment to maintain United States' research competitiveness in important areas of Science and Technology, the organizers of ACM SIGSPATIAL'2010 are pleased to announce the 2010 ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS NSF Student Travel Grants to encourage more computer science students both at the graduate and undergraduate levels to attend and participate in the ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS 2010 Conference, November 2-5 2010, San Jose, California, USA. Each travel award will cover up to $1000 USD towards conference-travel related costs. We especially encourage minority and female computer science PhD students to apply. In addition, special consideration will be given to undergraduate students actively participating in research.
