This year we are offering a Student Stipend Program for sponsoring students to attend I3D 2008. The program, financed by our generous corporate sponsors and by the ACM, is open to students worldwide (at the undergraduate or graduate level, or equivalent) who have not previously attended I3D. The awarded stipend per individual will not exceed $1000 US dollars and may go to reimburse travel, meal, and hotel. Free student registration to the conference and most meals are included with the stipend. Stipends will not be given to students who are the author or co-author of accepted papers or posters. The size of the requested stipend will not affect your chance of being selected. If there are more qualified applicants than stipends available, the committee will select with a subset of awards reserved for women and undergraduates.

To apply for the stipend, please send an application packet to i3dstipend@gmail.com by no later than Friday December 21st, 11:59PM EST, 2007. The applications will be reviewed by committee and the recipients of the stipends will be notified via email on Monday January 7th, 2008. Your application packet should be a single PDF file (e.g., print using PDFCreator: http://www.pdfforge.org/products/pdfcreator) containing the following three parts:

Cover page: on a one-page cover sheet, please include:
1. Contact information: your name, mailing address, and an email address.
2. Faculty contact: please include the name and email address of your advisor or a professor who supports your application to the Student Stipend Program.
Resume: please include an up-to-date resume or CV.
Budget: please estimate your expenses, itemized into categories including travel, meals, and hotel. Students must document all expenses with receipts as they are actually incurred. Details about the budget:
1. Travel: indicate your total travel estimate (e.g., airline ticket, to/from airport transportation – note that Sofitel provides this transportation for free from SFO)
2. Hotel: if you do not live in the area you may stay in the conference hotel (Sofitel San Francisco Bay) or a hotel of your choosing. Budget $80/night for Sofitel and we will then match you with a (same gender) roommate.
3. Meals: indicate your meal expenses -- please note that I3D provides all meals except lunch on Friday Feb 15th and breakfast on Saturday Feb 16th and Sunday Feb 17th.

If you have further questions regarding the I3D Student Stipend Program, please send an email to i3dstipend@gmail.com before the deadline.
