ACM-W International Scholarships for Research Conference
Scholarship for women’s to attend research conferences
Job Description: ACM-W, with funding from Wipro Technologies, provides support for women undergraduate and graduate students in Computer Science and related programs 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). The student does not have to present a paper at the conference she attends. As of 2011, twenty ACM-W/Wipro scholarships will be funded annually: ten scholarships of up to $600 will be awarded for intra-continental conference travel, and ten scholarships of up to $1200 will be awarded for intercontinental conference travel. In cases of exceptional demonstrable interest in pursuing study and research in CS, high school students will also be considered for conference support. ACM-W encourages the student’s home department to match the scholarship award and recognize the student’s achievement locally within their department. In addition, if the award is for attendance at one of several ACM special interest group conferences (SIGACCESS, SIGACT, SIGARCH, SIGCOMM, SIGCSE, SIGDA, SIGECOM, SIGSOFT, SIGGRAPH, SIGITE, SIGOPS, and SIGPLAN) the SIG will provide complementary conference registration and a mentor during the conference. Scholarship applications are evaluated in 6 groups each year, in order to distribute awards across a range of conferences. Note that we do not provide support for the Grace Hopper or Richard Tapia Conferences as these have their own scholarship programs.
