Details
- If you attend the conference, your major expenses will be: registration (which includes most meals), lodging, and airfare. Some scholarships will be awarded which fully cover these costs. Other scholarships will only partially cover these costs.
- If you are awarded a scholarship, you will be notified around August 1, 2006.
- In order to best serve the most students, when awarding scholarships we give slight preference to students who receive $300 toward the cost of the conference from their departments. Please talk with other women in your computer science courses, your women-in-computing organization, or your department chair about the possibility of some departmental funding before you apply for a scholarship. Of course, this is only one of the criteria used when awarding scholarships; we encourage you to apply even if your department is not providing funding.
- When awarding scholarships, we give slight preference to women who are presenting a paper at the conference. Please note that presenting at the conference does not guarantee you a scholarship.
- Women enrolled in community colleges are encouraged to apply for scholarships.
- Men are encouraged to apply for scholarships.
- If you will be traveling to the U.S. from another country, please be sure to allot enough time to apply for a visa and get your visa approved. Please check with the U.S. government about visa requirements well in advance of the conference date.
