Student Travel Awards
	We are happy to announce that CIKM 2004 will be offering a limited number of student travel awards for student authors. The purpose of the program is to encourage student participation at the conference by partially or fully funding the travel costs of students who would otherwise be unable to attend the conference. This program is made possible by our corporate sponsors. Each award will be limited to $500. See here for more information on how to apply.
General Visa Information
	The site http://travel.state.gov/visa/questions_embassy.html has links to consular services in U.S. embassies and consulates. These individual websites have very helpful information about current procedures, documentation to bring to visa interviews, delays in processing, and recent changes in visa requirements. More general information about visiting the United States is available at http://www.unitedstatesvisas.gov/.
Letters from ACM
	Letters are issued from ACM headquarters for attendees to submit in support of their visa applications. For those who are authors of papers, speakers, tutorial leaders, or have other specific responsibilities with the conference, this information can be included in the visa application letter. Please send your request for a visa application letter to Ginger Ignatoff (ignatoff@acm.org), and include your name, mailing address, and fax number.
