Application Process
To submit a RAS travel grant application, please visit https://parasol.tamu.edu/ieee/production/apps/icra_travelgrants/
To complete an application, an applicant is asked to provide:
- Basic information about the applicant
- Information about his/her accepted ICRA 2017 papers
- A statement about how attendance at ICRA 2017 will impact the applicant
