AAAI-26 Student Scholar Volunteer Program

Application Opens: November 8, 2025 – Opens at 12:01AM Eastern Time

Application Closes: November 13, 2025 – Closes at 11:59PM Eastern Time

AAAI is pleased to announce the continuation of its scholarship and volunteer program for 2025.

The Student Scholar Volunteer Program provides partial travel support for students who are:

• Full-time undergraduate or graduate students at colleges and universities
• Members of AAAI
• Submitted paper(s) to the conference program AND letter(s) of recommendation from their faculty advisor.

Students applying to the AAAI-26 Student Scholar Volunteer Program SHOULD NOT register before notification of acceptance, otherwise you will forfeit their complementary registration. No refunds will be provided for anyone who registers before the acceptance emails are sent.

In addition, repeat scholarship applicants must have fulfilled the volunteer and reporting requirements for previous awards. In the event that scholarship applications exceed available funds, preference will be given to students who have an accepted technical paper, and then to students who are actively participating in the conference in some way. However, all eligible students are encouraged to apply.

The Volunteer Program is an essential part of the conference and student participation is a valuable contribution. Volunteers will support AAAI organizers in Singapore. A limited number of complimentary technical program registrations will be available for students who volunteer during the conference. Please do not register before notification from the Volunteers’ Chair so you do not miss out on the complimentary technical program registration.

Preference will be given to participating students for the volunteer positions. Local students or students not requiring travel assistance can apply for the Volunteer Program if openings are available.

AAAI membership is required for eligibility.
