XSEDE — the Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment is providing four ways in which you can participate in the conference. Listed below are the avenues that can lead you to the conference! The XSEDE13 Student Program will give you the opportunity to meet peers with your same interests, participate in cutting-edge tutorials, take part in a programming competition, have lunch with a nationally recognized researcher, become involved in a student poster competition and much more! Deadlines are approaching for each Opportunity to participate below so hurry and apply! We look forward to seeing you there!
XSEDE Student Engagement Program
Application Deadline - March 29, 2013
The XSEDE Student Engagement Program is seeking undergraduate and graduate students for a 10-week project experience for this summer. Working with XSEDE researchers and staff, students will make meaningful contributions to research, development and systems projects that benefit the national scientific and computational community. In exchange, students will be provided with travel support for project orientation and to attend the XSEDE'13 conference in San Diego, CA in July, and a small stipend. Projects for 2013 address a wide variety of computational needs. Some of the projects allow students to work remotely (from their home or home institution), although some require the student to be onsite at their supervisor's institution. All projects will have well-defined work plans, established collaboratively at the orientation meeting. Students are also expected to participate in surveys and other evaluation activities, to help XSEDE track the effectiveness and impact of the program.

Open Science Grid User School
Application Deadline - March 29, 2013
OSG User School - June 24-27, 2013
If you could access thousands, maybe millions, of hours of computing, how would it transform your research? What discoveries would you make? We are looking for qualified students to attend the 2013 Open Science Grid (OSG) User School, where they will learn how to use high-throughput computing to harness vast amounts of computing power for research. Using lectures, discussions, role plays, and lots of hands-on work with OSG experts in high-throughput computing, students will learn how HTC systems work, how to run and manage many jobs and huge datasets to implement a full scientific computing workflow, and where to turn for help and more info. Worried about costs? Successful applicants will get financial support to attend the OSG School (June 24-27) at the beautiful University of Wisconsin in Madison. Plus, some students will receive financial support to attend XSEDE13 (July 22-25) in San Diego, California. Ideal candidates are science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) graduate students whose research demands large-scale computing. Also, advanced undergraduates are encouraged to apply. Others may apply too; funding is tight this year, but we consider all great candidates! Fore more information, please visit https://www.opensciencegrid.org/bin/view/Education/OSGUserSchool2013 or send email to osg-school-2013-info@opensciencegrid.org.

XSEDE Scholars
Application Deadline – April 1, 2013
The XSEDE Scholars Program is a yearlong program for U.S. students from underrepresented groups in computational sciences. The program provides opportunities to learn more about high performance computing and XSEDE resources, network with cutting-edge researchers and leaders, and belong to a cohort of student peers to establish a community of academic leaders. XSEDE 2013-14 Scholars will receive a travel grant to attend the XSEDE13 conference in San Diego, July 22-25, 2013 and will participate in at least six online technical training and mentoring webinars with other scholars throughout the year. Underrepresented minority undergraduate or graduate students, studying at research institutions, who are interested in the computational sciences, are especially encouraged to apply. The online application is located at Bit.ly/xsedescholars.
XSEDE13 Student Program – Calling all High School and College Students
Poster Submission Deadline – April 12, 2013
XSEDE — the Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment — provides high-performance computational resources and services for scientists and researchers around the world. Students interested or engaged in computational research are encouraged to attend and participate in the XSEDE13 Student Program. XSEDE invites you to compete in a student poster contest that shows how your research demonstrates the value computational science adds to scientific discovery. For more information and submission guidelines, please visit https://www.xsede.org/web/xsede13/students.
Travel assistance is provided for each of these programs.
