The ACM Symposium on Cloud Computing 2019 (SoCC '19) is the tenth in an established series of symposia that bring together researchers, developers, users, and practitioners interested in cloud computing. SoCC offers multiple opportunities for students to share their knowledge, experience, and research works with internationally recognized researchers from both academia and industry.

To this end, the SoCC planning committee, with the support of the National Science Fountation, ACM SIGMOD, and ACM SIGOPS, is pleased to offer travel scholarships to help students defray the costs of attending the program. Priority will be given to students with an accepted paper at SoCC, as well as students from groups historically underrepresented at the conference.

Applicants should be full time students (undergraduate or graduate) and will be expected to attend the full conference. Awardees will receive a partial reimbursement for conference registration and travel expenses; The expected award is $600 to students traveling from within the US and $700 to students coming from outside the US. Priority will be given to a student with an accepted paper or poster.
