Can I get support to attend the Summer School?
Yes! We will pay you to attend the summer school. We have
funding from three sources: ACM's SIGPLAN, the National Science
Foundation (NSF), and the Office of Naval Reseaerch (ONR). These
sources come with their own restrictions: the NSF and ONR are
limited to students residing in the USA. SIGPLAN aims to support
diversity.
Do apply! Regardless of these limitations we
will try to support you. Please be modest in your requests and try
to save money wherever possible. If funded, check with the
organizers before booking.

languages. We particularly interested in encouraging minorities and
