:: Student Travel Grants and Volunteer Program

=======================================================

[Student Volunteer Program]

ACL seeks a limited number of student volunteers for the ACL 2012 conference. In exchange for one full day's work, student volunteers receive free registration to the main conference (although not to the workshops and tutorials). The work will be divided, probably into two half-day shifts, and the shifts will be scheduled to maximize volunteer access to the conference events. Tasks will include assisting at the registration desk, stuffing delegate packs, and providing technical assistance for conference events including tutorials, the main conference, and workshops.

[Student Travel Awards]

Funding is also available to assist student participants both with travel to Jeju, Korea for ACL 2012 as well as with conference expenses (such as housing, local transportation to/from airport, conference registration of non-main session events, reasonable food costs, etc.)

All students are welcome to apply. The applicants must agree to participate in the ACL 2012 Student Volunteer Program. Please note that Student Travel Awards are to subsidize student authors' participation in ACL, and are not intended to cover all travel expenses.

The student travel program is supported by the Donald and Betty Walker Student Scholarship Fund and the Asian Federation of Natural Language Processing (AFNLP).
