2026 ISSCC Student Travel Grant Awards

Submission Deadline: 5 p.m. ET on October 15, 2025

The IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society Student Travel Grant Award (STGA) program recognizes and promotes early career accomplishments in all solid-state circuits fields by supporting student travel to the next edition of the International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC).

With the help of the STGA program, up-and-coming young engineers:

may network with researchers from industry, academia, and government from all over the world at ISSCC;
learn about IC design breakthroughs, and about challenges that have not yet been solved or need to be addressed, in-person and in advance.

STGA applicants must be SSCS members, and studying electrical or electrical and computer engineering. Preference will be giving to students who are enrolled for at least a year in a PhD program and who are recommended by one professor.

The committee will also consider senior undergraduate students and masters students who have shown to be interested in pursuing graduate studies in the field of IC design.

Any individual applying for both the STGA and the Predoctoral Achievement Award in the same year will be eligible to receive only one award, to be determined at the discretion of the judges.
