At the 2009 PES GM, we will offer free hotel accommodation to a limited number of students who apply for this support. In case the number of applicants exceeds the number of students we are able to accommodate, there will be prioritization based on (a) whether student is submitting a poster in the student poster contest or has an accepted technical paper; (b) status, i.e., undergrad/grad --- undergraduates receive higher priority; (c) timely application; (d) merit of application; (e) financial support provided by student's advisor; (f) Previous participation in PEEC sponsored programs. Women, minorities and undergraduates are especially encouraged to apply. 

 In order to be selected for free accommodation it is not essential to have a technical paper accepted at the Meeting, or to enter in the Student Poster Contest, but in the event that there are more student applicants than we can support, the applications will be ranked for support.

Note: You MUST register for the 2009 IEEE General Meeting before applying for the student support form.  When registration opens, you can register at the IEEE PES GM 2009 webpage (http://pesgm09.org/)
