Student Travel Grant Program

Travel support for a limited number of students may be available from the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (GRSS). Students accepted into the program will receive financial support and be paired with a mentor for the duration of the workshop. Note that, even if a student can only attend the workshop remotely, they can still apply to request reimbursement for registration fees using the same application!

The GRSS travel support application must be submitted online by 7 April 2023, through the link below:
