D. Financial Assistantship for full-Time Students:

   The congress has finalized the financial assistantship decisions for students
   who are affiliated with non-USA institutions (decisions were communicated
   with the awardees in March and April 2012). Unfortunately, 26 of the awardees
   are not able to secure USA visa in a timely manner to attend the meeting. The
   congress is now providing these 26 slots to full-time graduate students who
   are enrolled in USA institutions. This financial assistantship is for
   attendance only (ie, excludes speakers and authors of papers). Sponsored
   students will receive the complete conference package (printed books/proceedings,
   CD, dinner reception, 4 breakfasts, 12 refreshments, access to all tracks and
   tutorials, ...), registration fee waiver, partial help with hotel accommodation,
   and/or possibly some help with airfare. In order to apply, send the following
   information for consideration to sc@world-comp.org as soon as possible
   (include as attachments in pdf only): a 2-page CV; a letter from your major
   professor or Department Head/Chair stating that you are a full-time graduate
   student in good standing; and a break-down of your itemized costs (airfare,
   hotel, ...). In the Subject Header of your email write "student sponsorship".
   Award decisions will be finalized within 24 hours of receipt of the requested
   information.
