Grace Hopper Celebration (GHC) Scholarships provide funds for undergraduate students, graduate students, and faculty to attend our three-day Celebration. Scholars who attend GHC gain access to career and academic workshops, networking opportunities, and memories that will last a lifetime.

Scholarship Coverage

Student and Faculty Scholarships include:

• Individual Registration for the three-day Celebration.
• Hotel accommodations (arranged by AnitaB.org). Student Scholars will be assigned a roommate. Faculty Scholars will be assigned their own room.
• Airfare booked and paid for by AnitaB.org Travel Consultant.
• Travel stipend (if used wisely, stipend is expected to cover transportation costs to and from the airport, baggage fees, meals, and other travel incidentals).
• Organiser will provide the stipend when applicants pick up their badge at GHC. Scholars pay upfront for travel day meals and taxis/shuttles to the GHC venue.

Student Eligibility

• Applicants must be a full-time student enrolled in an accredited degree program at a college, university, or high school at the time of applying.
• Applicants must be a full-time student enrolled in an accredited degree program at a college or university at the time of the Celebration (October 2019). Those graduating prior to the Celebration 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, human-computer interaction, math, physics, or management information systems.
• Be able to demonstrate an interest in computing.
• Applicants cannot have been an AnitaB.org-GHC Scholarship recipient in 2018.
• Applicants must be at least 18 years of age by October 2, 2019.
• Applicants cannot accept more than one scholarship to attend GHC.
• If applicants receive a scholarship and do not notify AnitaB.org that they cannot attend prior to the Celebration, they will not be eligible in future years as this takes a scholarship away from another student that could have attended.

Faculty Eligibility 

• Applicants must be teaching at an accredited college or university at the time of the conference. Organizers do not award scholarships to High School teachers, as the conference does not provide programming for K-12.
• Applicants must teach in a degree program such as, but not limited to, computer science, computer engineering, or a related technical discipline such as electrical engineering, human-computer interaction, math, physics, or management information systems.
• If applicants receive a scholarship and do not notify AnitaB.org that they cannot attend prior to the Celebration, they will not be eligible in future years as this takes a scholarship away from another faculty that could have attended.
