Scholarship Details

Student Scholarships include:

  *   Individual Registration for the three day conference
  *   Hotel accommodations (Student Scholars will be assigned a roommate. Faculty Scholars will be assigned their own room)
  *   Meal card for use at the convention center during the conference
  *   Travel stipend (if used wisely, stipend will cover airfare, transportation costs to and from the airport, baggage fees, meals during travel, and other travel incidentals)
  *   We provide the stipend after your attendance at the conference has been verified. Scholars pay upfront for flights/meals and then receive the stipend in December.

Student Eligibility

  *   You must be a full time student enrolled in an accredited degree program at a college or university at the time of the conference (October 2017). Those graduating prior to the conference are not eligible unless accepted to another related degree program (such as a M.S. or Ph.D. program).
  *   Show satisfactory progress toward a degree such as, but not limited to, computer science, computer engineering, or a related technical discipline such as electrical engineering, math, or physics.
  *   Be able to demonstrate an interest in computer science.
  *   You cannot have been an ABI-GHC Scholarship recipient in 2016.
  *   You must be at least 18 years of age by October 1, 2017.
  *   You cannot accept more than one scholarship to GHC.
  *   If you receive a scholarship and do not notify ABI that you cannot attend prior to the conference, you will not be eligible in future years as this takes a scholarship away from another student that could have attended.

What are we looking for in a student scholar?

  *   Student scholars are active in their community.
  *   GHC will have an impact on the scholar and the message they take back to school.
