N2 Women Student Fellowships

N2 Women is pleased to announce the creation of N2 Women Student Fellowship awards. These awards will partially cover a student's travel cost (up to $500) to a meeting where an N2 Women event will be held. In exchange, the student must help organize the N2 Women meeting. The benefit of doing the organization, in addition to the travel funds, is for the student to connect with the organizers of the conference who are, typically, leaders in the research field. We will arrange for a faculty or research member of N2 Women to assist/mentor the student in this task.

Support for these N2 Women Student Fellowship awards has been generously provided by Microsoft Research and by HP Labs. SIGMOBILE is also supporting these N2 Women Student Fellowship awards by covering all the costs associated with the processing of the funds.

To apply for a Student Fellowship, please send an email to n2women-info@acm.org with the following information:
 

  • About the conference the student wishes to attend:
    • Full title of the conference

    • A description of any events the student has helped organize
