The CSSC has approved of a change to the CEDAR Bylaws (see below). The next step to finalize these changes to the Bylaws is for the community to vote. Please take a minute and vote

<b>Justification: </b>In practice, we have been awarding international students registration fee waivers and housing support. This change aligns our Bylaws with established practices. Allowing the CSSC to consider, on a case-by-case basis, those who have recently
graduated--but who were not matriculated at the time of workshop registration--is aligned with the spirit of supporting students.</div>

<b>Current Bylaw: </b><i>Student support to attend the annual CEDAR workshop (if an in-person option is available) will be extended to only students based at educational institutions within the USA (including all US states and territories). This support includes
registration fees, airfare(up to a potential maximum limit that may vary by year), and housing. In exchange, students are required to present a poster and are encouraged to participate fully in other areas of the workshop. Top priority will be given to funding
the two SRs before all other students, to ensure their in-person support of Student Day. </i></div>

<b>New Bylaw (proposed): </b>Students at the time of workshop registration are eligible to apply for funding support to attend the annual CEDAR workshop (if an in-person option is available). Students based at educational institutions within the USA (including
all US states and territories) may be awarded support including a registration fee waiver, airfare (up to a potential maximum limit that may vary by year), and lodging. International students may be awarded a registration fee waiver and lodging. In exchange
for funding support, students are required to present a poster and are encouraged to participate fully in other areas of the workshop. Top priority will be given to funding the two SRs before all other students, to ensure their in-person support of Student
Day. On a case-by-case basis, exceptions may be made to extend student support to individuals who are not currently matriculated but are in close proximity to student status. This may include, but is not limited to, individuals who were enrolled as students
at the time the research was conducted, as well as individuals transitioning between academic programs (e.g., between undergraduate and graduate study). If approved, such cases will enter the random draw pool and follow the established process of support selection.</div>
