From BJ Wishinsky, the Communities Program Manager of Anita Borg Institute for Women and Technology:
Scholarship applications are now being accepted for the 2010 Grace Hopper Celebration (GHC).
GHC scholarships cover a combination of conference registration (which includes most meals), lodging, and fixed amount of travel reimbursement funds. The majority of scholarships are awarded to undergraduate and graduate students, however, junior faculty, members of non-governmental organizations, and non-profits are also eligible to apply. Visit the scholarship page (http://gracehopper.org/2010/participate/student-scholarships/) for more information and to submit your application. The deadline to apply for a 2010 scholarship is May 14th.
With the extension of some submission deadlines there is still an opportunity to participate in the conference which will increase your chances of getting a scholarship. The deadline to submit a proposal is March 30th for PhD Forum and New Investigators and April 6th for posters. Please visit the Call for Participation page for details: http://gracehopper.org/2010/participate/call-for-participation/
We are also looking for academic underwriters and corporate sponsors to support scholarships at Grace Hopper. Contact Jody Mahoney (jodym@anitaborg.org) for corporate sponsorship and Kim McLeod (kimm@anitaborg.org) for academic underwriter sponsorship opportunities.

A note from Beibei:
If you plan to attend GHC 2010, but you don't have enough funding, please consider applying for the scholarship! It's NOT exclusive to students, so junior faculty, members of non-governmental organizations, and non-profits are also eligible to apply.
Last year I had the opportunity to go to the GHC as a student scholarships recipient. It was such a great experience to meet so many amazing women in technologies from all over the world. It's an experience that you don't want to miss.
