David,
If we plan to graduate in June or July, are we still eligible for the two grants?
Thanks.

Vinh, the grants are administered by the useR! organizers, so I suggest you direct your question to the conference bursaries at the email address on the linked page. Best of luck!

David,
I read at useR2011 website that grants for traveling is only for US PhD students. Could you please tell me is it also for a person who is living in Europe but not in UK?
Thanks,
