                          student scholarships 
                         
                         
                           As 
                            with previous AAMAS conferences, AAMAS-05 
                            organizers are delighted to announce a student 
                            scholarship program. We intend to enable 
                            students with papers accepted at AAMAS-05 
                            to participate in the conference by providing them 
                            with partial financial support. Additionally, there 
                            will be a small number of scholarships for participants 
                            at the Doctoral Mentoring program.  
                           
                            Please note that as a part of the scholarship program, 
                            recipients are expected to work at least one day as 
                            a volunteer, assisting with the workshops, tutorials 
                            and/or technical sessions. 
                           
                            Reimbursement rules and procedures for students 
                            awarded scholarships at AAMAS 2005 
                         
                        
                          -  
                            
 
                              All students are required to present proof of realization 
                              of their assigned tasks at AAMAS 2005, signed by 
                              one of the local organizers. 
                           
                          -  
                            
 
                              Only original receipts (not copies) are accepted. 
                           
                          -  
                            
 
                              Deadline for submission of reimbursement documents 
                              (see below) is August 31st, 2005.  
                           
                          -  
                            
 
                              Students will only be reimbursed up to the maximum 
                              awarded to him/her. All other expenses are of their 
                              own responsibility. 
                           
                         
                         
                           
                            For the US students awarded scholarships the following 
                            will be required for the reimbursement: 
                         
                        
                          -  
                            
 
                              submission of all receipts (including food) 
                           
                          -  
                            
                              air ticket must be issued by a US airline 
                           
                          -  
                            
 
                              maximum food reimbursement per day is $30 
                           
                          -  
                            
a 
                              conversion rate when stating a $ equivalent of Euro 
                              expenses. 
                           
                         
                         
                          Additionally, 
                            I would like to point out that the requirement about 
                            a US airline is 
                            tricky because US airlines often share planes with 
                            other carriers. The ticket has to be bought from the 
                            US carrier even if the plane is from a partner airline. 
                          The 
                            students have to expend their own money, keeping all 
                            receipts. For reimbursement, they should send all 
                            receipts and a filled in reimbursement 
                            request form to Sandip Sen.
                            After checking for the accuracy and consistency of 
                            the reimbursement requests with the requirements reimbursement will proceed.

                            awarded AgentLink grants. 
                          All 
                            students that were awarded an AgentLink scholarship 
                            have been explicitely informed of this. If you never 
                            received an e-mail informing you that yours is an 
                            AgentLink scholarship, then please refer to the instructions 
                            concerning 'other students'! 
                            The 
                            EC financial rules governing AgentLink III project 
                            require awardees to follow the following procedure. 
                            The students have to expend their own money, keeping 
                            all receipts, and subsequently make an expense claim 
                            for reimbursement directly to AgentLink. They must 
                            claim against actual expenditure, up to the maximum 
                            awarded. 
                            The full details of the process and claim forms are 
                            on our web-pages: 
                            http://www.agentlink.org/admin/expenses.html 
                            Payment is then made through the University of Liverpool, 
                            directly to the student's nominated bank account. 
                            Note that University of Liverpool rules require actual 
                            transaction receipts, not credit card receipts. The 
                            students are encouraged to contact Ms 
                            Adele Maggs, the AgentLink III Project Administrator, 
                            if they have any questions about the process.

			 For reimbursement, the students are required to send all 
                            receipts and a filled in reimbursement 
                            request form to Virginia Dignum.
