Scholarships

The AAMAS-03 organisers are delighted to announce a student scholarship scheme. The purpose of this scheme is to provide financial support for students with accepted papers at AAMAS-03, to enable them to travel to the conference. The message describes who is eligible for support and how to apply.

AM I ELIGIBLE FOR SUPPORT? To be eligible for the scheme you must:

  • be registered as a full-time student at a higher education institute (eg a University);
  • be explicitly listed as an author of a full accepted paper at AAMAS.

I AM A POSTER AUTHOR, CAN I GET SUPPORT TO TRAVEL?

Our first priority is students with full accepted papers. Because funds are limited, we do not currently envisage it will be possible to provide support for student authors of posters. However, if this situation changes (by more funds becoming available), we will ensure that all AAMAS authors receive notification of this, and we will issue a second call.

I AM AN AUTHOR, BUT NOT A STUDENT - CAN I GET TRAVEL SUPPORT?

No - sorry. We have limited funds, and students are our highest funding priority.

I MEET THE ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA - HOW DO I APPLY?

You need to do two things:

  • Send the scholarship chair (see below) an email with the following information:
    • your name
    • the tracking number of the paper(s) that you are an author of
    • your full contact details (email, postal address, fax, phone)
    • the qualification for which you are registered (eg BSc, MSc, PhD)
    • the name of the department & institute at which you are registered
    • a brief (one paragraph) statement of the work you are doing (e.g., your area of PhD research)
    • a brief (one paragraph) statement of why you need these funds.
    The subject title of the email should be "AAMAS SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION" The request for support must be received by **FRIDAY 28 MARCH 2003**.
  • Get your supervisor/thesis advisor to send a letter or a fax to the scholarship chair, certifying that you are indeed registered registered as a full time student. The letter should be signed by your supervisor/thesis advisor, and carry the stamp of your institute. This letter must also be received by **FRIDAY 28 MARCH 2003**.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THAT?

We will contact all applicants to let them know the outcome as soon as possible. (It would be helpful if you did *not* send any emails asking about the state of your application, as this just clogs up email in trays and slows the process down!)

HOW WILL YOU DECIDE WHO GETS FUNDING?

We will first check eligibility. After that, we will prioritise all eligible candidates on the basis of need: the more clearcut the need, the higher the priority.
