ACM-W Scholarships for
Attendance at Research Conferences

ACM-W provides support for women undergraduate and graduate students in Computer Science and related programs to attend research conferences. This exposure to the CS research world can encourage 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.

We are pleased to announce that we now have support from both Wipro Technologies and Microsoft Research Advanced Technology Labs Europe. The ACM-W/Wipro funds are open to all women students, and are divided between scholarships of up to $600 for intra-continental conference travel, and scholarships of up to $1200 for intercontinental conference travel. The ACM-W/Microsoft scholarships are available to European nationals, and  include conference registration plus an additional $600 for intra-continental travel or $1200 for intercontinental conference travel.

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, SIGCHI, SIGCSE, SIGDA, SIGECOM, SIGEVO, SIGGRAPH, SIGIR, SIGITE, SIGMM, SIGMOBILE, SIGOPS, SIGPLAN, and SIGSOFT) 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.

Application and notification dates are as follows:
