IEEE Conference Travel to Chicago, IL

I am an ECE PhD candidate at Carnegie Mellon University. My student research paper has been accepted into the 2012 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation (IEEE APS). The conference is located in Chicago, Illinois, and it will take place from July 8, 2012 through July 14, 2012. It is a great honor to have my paper accepted into this conference, and it is an entry into the 2012 IEEE APS Student Paper Competition.

However, due to a last minute and temporary pause in my PhD funding, I currently do not have travel funds to attend this conference. I'd really like to attend this conference, so I can present my paper, and meet my peers in my research area.

The costs I am trying to raise include conference registration fee, airfare, and hotel. Please help me raise this money, so I can attend this conference and present my paper in the Student Paper Competition.

I appreciate your help.
