ACM-W Student Scholarships for Attendance at Research Conferences

A program launched by ACM's Committee on Women in Computing
(ACM-W) provides support for undergraduate or graduate women
students in Computer Science programs who are interested in
attending research conferences. It is not required that the
student present a paper at the conference she attends. High
school students will also be considered for conference
support. Initially, up to 12 scholarships of up to $500
each will be awarded annually.

ACM-W also encourages the student's home department to
match the scholarship award and recognize the student's
achievement locally within her department. Applications
will be evaluated in four groups each year, in order to
distribute awards across a range of conferences, with two to
three awards given each quarter. For application and
notification dates and more information, please visit

To apply, fill in the online application form at
http://acm-w.acm.org/scholara.cfm (you will need to login
with your ACM username and password), which consists of a
one-page essay and an optional letter from the student's
chair or dean supporting the application.
