STUDENT TRAVEL GRANTS

Student Travel Grants

We are committed to helping students attend the 69th IEEE International Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems (MWSCAS 2026) in Cincinnati, Ohio. Two distinct financial assistance opportunities are available to support student attendance:

  • NSF Student Travel Awards: Available only students affiliated with a US-based institution.

  • IEEE CASS Student Travel Grants: Available to all students, regardless of whether they are based in US or abroad.

Please find details below about the application procedure for each opportunity.

Thanks to the generous support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), we provide scholarship awards to selected U.S.-based students attending MWSCAS 2026 in person.

Award Details
    • Amount: The minimum financial assistance provided will be $600, depending on fund availability.
