Hi All! If you're considering going to the Grace Hopper Conference this year, we encourage you to take advantage of the opportunity below---- Please let us know if you are awarded a scholarship by the Anita Borg Institute! ______________________________________________________________________________________ Student Scholarships from the Anita Borg Institute for the Grace Hopper Conference About the Scholarships 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 eligible to apply. In 2008, GHC student scholarships were made possible by generous donations from the National Science Foundation, GHC Academic Underwriters, Google, IBM, Amazon.com, Sun Microsystems, Salesforce.com, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs & Co., CA, Cisco, Intuit, Systers and the Anita Borg Institute Community. Preparing for the Application Process The GHC scholarship application process is now open. The deadline for application submissions is May 27, 2009 (Midnight CDT). You will be asked to submit an essay, résumé/CV, GPA (grade point average) & class rank and letter of reference (to be uploaded by your reference). Please note that only undergraduate and graduate students are required to submit a letter of reference. Submit your application<https://parasol.tamu.edu/celebrate/applicant/>. You can prepare for the scholarship application process by: 1. Consider participating in the conference. Although not guaranteed, the Scholarship Committee tries to award funding to scholarship applicants who have been selected to participate in the conference. The call for participation opens on January 17, 2009 and will close on March 16, 2009. You will not be allowed to apply to participate in the conference after the scholarship application process begins. 2. Find a faculty member to serve as a reference. You will be required to submit the name and contact information for your reference; they will receive an email with instructions for uploading your letter of reference. By identifying your reference writer early you will allow them more time to write you a thoughtful letter which will outline your leadership qualities, academic standing and interests as a technologist. 3. Seek out resources for additional funding. The Scholarship Committee takes into consideration applicants who have already obtained partial funding. This allows the committee to award more scholarships to deserving applicants from the pool of scholarship funds. Please review the Recommendations for Funding listed below to find ideas about seeking out additional funding. http://www.gracehopper.org/2009/participate/student-scholarships/ Elizabeth Collums Program Coordinator Office of Outreach, Enrollment and Community The College of Computing at Georgia Tech 801 Atlantic Drive Atlanta, GA 30332-0280
