APSCE Merit Scholarship Program 2011
The application for the APSCE Merit Scholarship Program 2011 is still
open, the deadline has been extended to September 23, 2011. |
To assist in fulfilling one of the goals of the Asia-Pacific Society for Computers in
Education (APSCE)—fostering and sustaining a vibrant community of young
researchers within the region, a financial aid and scholarship program has been set up
since 2007 by the Society. The program intends to award potential young leaders
among the student community, who have no adequate funding to attend ICCE2011.
Important information on qualifications, documentation, selection criteria, notification
and submission deadline are listed below. |
| Qualifications |
| |
- First-authors or presenters of accepted papers of ICCE2011 (i.e., theme-based
conference papers, workshop papers or DSC papers);
- Applicants whose papers received overall favorable ratings from the reviewers (eg,
fall in the "inclined to accept" or "definitely accept" category)";
- Graduate students who are in need of financial support to attend ICCE2011.
|
| Documentation |

The following documents must be included in the application:
- A cover page with your full name, contact information, a copy of the acceptance
letter from the ICCE2011 theme-based conference PC chairs/co-chairs
(including information on the overall ratings of the accepted paper), the name
and contact information of your advisor/supervisor, and the SIG(s) you are
involved in or will be involved in;
- 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 (eg, authors, presenters, volunteers, reviewers)
is welcomed.

| Selection Criteria |

Only applicants who have met the aforementioned qualifications are eligible to apply.
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 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 conference,
followed by workshop and lastly DSC papers. Those who have not received subsidized
support through APSCE for attending past ICCEs will also be given priority. |
