Participants who receive financial support from the conference should pay their hotel bills 
and submit the receipts for hotel and other expenses together with the Visitor's Expense Report
within 30 days after the close of the conference for reimbursement up to the amount of the 
promised financial support. 

We have received secured funding from the National Science Foundation and Northwestern University
to provide financial assistance to graduate students, younger investigators (Ph.D after May 15, 2016),
and researchers without alternative sources of financial support for attending the conference.
Typically we can supplement travel and lodging expenses in the $400-$800 range per participant,
depending on priority, needs, and the number of requests for financial assistance.

In order to receive financial support you must register online and indicate on the registration
form that you would like to receive financial support. A registration must be completed before
September 23rd, 2022 for a full consideration. Other factors being equal, the funds will be distributed
according to the chronological order in which the requests are received. Please note that in
accordance with NSF regulations only flights on US flag air carriers will be reimbursed.

A current graduate student needs to confirm you status by asking your academic adviser to send a
brief letter of reference by email to the local organizer Elton Hsu
