Travel Funding Available for 3CS this July
CyberWatch West has funds available to send select faculty members employed by CyberWatch West member institutions to the Community College Cyber Summit (3CS) being held in Pittsburgh, PA, July 22-24.
CyberWatch West is one of the Advanced Technological Education (ATE) centers organizing and sponsoring the three-day conference, which will be held at the Community College of Allegheny County and will focus on the theme “Expanding the Boundaries of Cybersecurity Programs at Community Colleges.”
Faculty seeking financial assistance to attend 3CS should complete the online form available on the CyberWatch West website. Applications will be accepted until April 15, 2016 or until travel funds run out. Please keep in mind that registration for 3CS may fill up quickly.
CyberWatch West will notify applicants on approximately Thursday, March 31 whether they have been selected to receive a travel stipend. Applicants representing institutions in the continental United States will be considered for a stipend of $1250.00 to help cover the costs of conference registration, airfare, meals, and hotel accommodations. Stipends of $1500.00 will be considered for applicants from Hawaii, to help defray higher travel expenses.
Travel stipend recipients will be expected to subsidize all expenses incurred and will be required to submit a completed W-9 IRS form and proof of conference attendance before receiving the stipend as reimbursement.
