The applicant must be an IEEE NPSS member and be the first author on an accepted abstract, and must qualify as a young professional, who received his/her final graduate degree within the last ten years, or no earlier than May 2014.

Young professionals must be full time employed in an industrial or academic institution. Graduate students are not eligible for this support. (Instead, please consider applying for student travel grant.)
