ACM SIGCOMM 2026 Student Travel Grants

A set of travel grants to support participation in the ACM SIGCOMM 2026 conference in Denver, Colorado (August 17-21, 2026). Grants are intended to broaden participation by helping to offset costs of attending for students, postdocs, and early-career researchers with limited resources. There are targeted opportunities including GeoDiversity Travel Grants, N2Women Travel Grants, and National Science Foundation (NSF) grants. Awards are intended to partially reimburse authorized travel expenses after the conference.

Partial reimbursement for authorized expenses such as economy airfare, hotel accommodations, conference registration, meals (per-diem), and local transportation.

Grants are intended for students, postdocs, and early-career researchers with limited resources. GeoDiversity grants target applicants mainly early-career researchers and students from countries historically under-represented at SIGCOMM (e.g., Latin America, Africa, parts of Asia). NSF grants support US-based applicants only and are not available to postdocs, students funded or receiving funds under other federal grants, or students not attending a US college or university.
