As part of diversity and inclusion efforts, CPAIOR 2024 is happy to provide scholarships to sponsor presentations by students. These scholarships are intended to cover part of the costs of attending CPAIOR. The selection of awardees will be based on availability of funds from sponsors, financial need of the student, representativeness, and the relevance of the paper or extended abstract that the student would be presenting at the conference.
Instructions for scholarship application: Students who have an accepted paper or have submitted an extended abstract may email a statement of intent to cpaior.dei@gmail.com. This email should contain the following information:
– Confirmation that the student is intended to be the presenter of the paper or extended abstract.
– The number of the submission on EasyChair for the paper or extended abstract.
– How much (and for what purpose) is needed beyond local resources that the student has (via their university, advisor, employer, or other scholarships) for enabling participation? Clarify how the student’s attendance would not be possible without this extra help.
– Whether the student identifies as a member of a group who has historically been underrepresented at CPAIOR, for instance, in terms of geographical region, cultural background, gender identity, and disability.
– Whether the student has attended CPAIOR before.
The deadline for sending this email is March 9th, 2024 (AoE).
Please note that the deadline for submitting an extended abstract, which is the last opportunity to be eligible for a scholarship, is 3 days earlier, on March 6th, 2024 (AoE).
Selection criteria: The student should have an accepted paper or extended abstract to be considered for a scholarship. Preference will be given to applicants who do not have sufficient means of support, who have not attended the conference before, and who are not as represented as others in the CPAIOR community, as documented in the email that they have submitted.
