Eligibility Criteria for Applicants

1. Open to graduate students (Master’s and Doctoral students) who are in need of financial support to attend ICCE2023. Those who have graduated with a Master’s degree (past 12 months) and are waiting to enroll in a PhD programme can also be considered. Please see the documentation required below.
2. Must be the first-authors or presenters of accepted papers of ICCE2023 [i.e., theme-based main conference papers, workshop papers, WIPP (Working in Progress Papers), DSC (Doctoral Student Consortium) papers, extended summary papers, or SATELUC (Showcase of Advancements in Technology-Enhanced Learning in Underrepresented Countries) proposals.
3. Only applicants whose papers received overall favorable ratings from ICCE2023 reviewers (e.g., fall in the “inclined to accept” or “definitely accept” category)” will be considered.

Documentation

The following documents must be included in the application:

• A copy of postgraduate (Master/PhD/EdD) admission letter or a copy of student’s ID or evidence of PhD/EdD application.
• A copy of the acceptance letter/email for accepted papers in ICE2023 (including information on the overall ratings of the accepted paper) from the respective chairs.
• A brief description highlighting your past contribution to the research community in general and/or the APSCE in particular. For those who have not had the opportunity to do so yet, please highlight how you can contribute to the community in the near future. Information on your prior experience participating in previous ICCEs in any forms (e.g., authors, presenters, volunteers, reviewers) is welcomed.
• A letter of recommendation from your advisor/supervisor endorsing your contribution to the community in the past and substantiating the current status of your financial situation. If you are not the first-author of the accepted paper, but will be the presenter of the paper, your supervisor/advisor must clearly state this.

Selection Criteria

Only applicants who have met the aforementioned criteria will be considered. Priority will be given to those who have contributed as an individual to the research community in any form, or have participated in prior ICCE(s). Applicants whose papers have been recommended by the paper review panel for Best Student Paper Award/Best Paper Award/Best Technical Paper Award will have an added advantage. Special attention will be given to self-financed students of their postgraduate programs. In addition, priority will be given to students whose papers have been accepted for the theme-based main conference first, followed by workshop, WIPP, DSC, Extended Summary papers, and lastly SATELUC proposals. Those who have not received subsidized support through APSCE for attending past ICCEs will also be given priority.
