CNS Grace Hopper Travel Grant

*The Grace Hopper Travel Grant is on hold until further notice*

The Grace Hopper Celebration is a series of conferences with the purpose of bringing the research and career interests of women in computing to the forefront.  Leaders in different subfields of computer science and information technology present their latest work while special sessions focus on the role of women in the fields of information technology, computer science and engineering, and research. This is the premier event for women in computing to advance their careers, to mentor or to find a mentor, to network with prospective employers, to meet new research collaborators, and to give back to the computing community.
