MMSP 2024 and the Signal Processing Society are pleased to provide travel grants on a highly competitive basis to students and young professionals (5 years max. after graduation), authors or non-authors in both developed and developing countries. The grants will be awarded to a limited number of applicants who have a genuine need for support and who will benefit from the conference in terms of networking.

IEEE and Signal Processing Society memberships are required at the time when the application is made. Applicants who are not yet a member can join now and submit their applications. 

Each awardee will be granted up to USD $500 in addition to a registration waiver. The grants can only be used to cover the travel expenses for applicants to attend MMSP 2024 (e.g., airfare, train and taxi, etc.). The grants, if approved, will be on a reimbursement basis following instructions given to grantees. The MMSP 2024 travel grant selection and oversight committees reserve the right to make the final decision regarding all applications.
