however, they have demonstrated a strong academic background (GPA > 3.5) and have one strong letter of recommendation;
2. Graduate students who have accepted regular/poster/demo papers at the conference with strong reviewer scores and a strong letter of recommendation from their advisor;
Students with accepted papers will have priority to receive the scholarship. Women and members of underrepresented minorities are highly encouraged to apply. Each institution will be awarded up to two such scholarships. Postdoctoral researchers are not eligible to this scholarship.
