Thanks to the generous support of the Fields Institute, we are able to provide a number of travel stipends to graduate students and postdoctoral fellows who wish to attend the workshop. Two types of stipends will be made available:

Student Speaker Stipend

Master and Ph. D students and postdoctoral fellows that satisfy the following conditions are invited to apply for a student speaker stipend.

• The applicant must be a Master or Ph. D student or hold a PDF position on August 11, 2011.
• The applicant must be a named author as well as the presenter of a paper accepted to SAC 2011.

To apply for a student speaker stipend, send an email to Ali Miri -* at *- ryerson.ca with "Student Speaker Stipend" as the subject. In the email,

• please identify the paper that you will be presenting, and
• attach a letter (in pdf format) from your research supervisor attesting to both your student status on August 11, 2011 and the fact that you will be presenting the identified paper.
• Include a budget, and indicated the amount requested.

Student Attendee Stipend

Master and Ph. D students and PDFs who are not presenting a paper can apply for a student attendee stipends. Please note that the number of student attendee stipends is very limited. Thus students who have made contributions or have shown considerable promise in the field of cryptography are more likely to be successful in their application.

To apply for a student attendee stipend, send an email to Ali Miri -* at *- ryerson.ca with "Student Attendee Stipend" as the subject. In the email

• please attach a detailed Curriculum Vitae (in pdf format), and
• a letter (in pdf format) from your reserach supervisor attesting to your student status on August 11, 2011.
• Include a budget, and indicated the amount requested.

Please note that we may not be able to award stipends to all those who apply (submitting an application does not guarantee receiving a stipend award). Also, the amount of the award may not be equal to the amount requested. In order for the university to be able to process any claim, applicants need to keep their travel-related expense receipts. We will accept applications up to August 11, 2011, although we suggest that you apply as soon as possible. We will contact those who have been awarded stipends approximately two weeks after the workshop with more details.
