SOSP, with generous donations from
conference sponsors, has offered approximately 65
scholarships to enable students to attend the
conference.
Each scholarship covers the SOSP conference
registration, including meals and proceedings, and a hotel room during the conference. Additional
funding has awarded toward the cost of travel in some
cases.
Scholarships were awarded by the scholarship
committee based on a combination of need and merit.
Students receiving scholarships have agreed to serve
as a session scribe (if required) during the conference.
Applicants are encouraged to participate in the poster
session and work-in-progress presentations.
Who should apply (now closed)
Funding is available to all students at educational
institutions, world-wide. Members of groups historically
under-represented at SOSP are especially encouraged to
apply.
Although most applicants in past years have been
graduate students, undergraduates who are actively
involved in systems research projects are welcome to
apply.
Applicants must be members of the ACM. See the ACM
site for a
student membership application. Note that ACM
provides
reduced rates for students residing in economically
developing countries.
How to apply
To apply you should submit the following:
- A fully filled-out SOSP

- A letter of recommendation from the
student's advisor, supporting the application,
which must cover the technical merit of the
student's participation.
- A short position paper written by the
student explaining what benefit is expected from
attending the conference and why the scholarship
should be granted. The statement should describe any
