Thanks to the generous support from SIGMOD EC, we will provide scholarship awards to selected students attending the WSDM 2024 conference.

For awardees attending in-person, the grant will cover the cost of registration + some travel expenses. The awards will be competitive in the sense that not every student will receive a Travel Award.

Each awardee will receive a bursary to partially cover the expense to attend the conference in-person. Awardees are expected to register for the main conference using a free-registration code provided with the award notification email and will have to make their own arrangements for travel and accommodation.
