ACM-W Scholarship Opportunities

ACM-W is pleased to announce a new program that will provide support
for women students in Computer Science and related programs (at the
undergraduate or graduate levels) who wish to attend research
conferences. Exposure to the CS research world can be an important
factor in encouraging a student to continue on to the next level
(undergraduate to graduate, Masters to Ph.D., Ph.D. to an industry or
academic position). It is not required that the student be presenting
a paper at the conference she attends. In cases of exceptional
demonstrable interest in pursuing study and research in CS, high
school students will also be considered for conference support.

Initially up to 12 such 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 their department. Applications will be evaluated in 6
groups each year, in order to distribute awards across a range of
conferences, with 1-3 awards given for each group of applications.
