Scholarships, Grants, and Fellowship Awards
We’ve Got You Covered
We’re here to help you make the most out of your time in Colorado. From scholarships to grants to fellowship awards, see below for ways we can support your attendance at WiCyS 2021.

Student Scholarship
We have a limited capacity of attendees for WiCyS 2021. As always, we expect that 50% of the attendees will be students from High School, 2 and 4-year institutions at all levels of education, and 50% professionals at various levels of their careers.
Students MUST apply for WiCyS scholarships to attend the conference (there is no general WiCyS 2021 registration for students) and have to be a current WiCyS student member to apply.
All students must apply for registration assistance (includes reduced rate registration that includes all activities and meals). Students receiving the scholarship will pay a minimal $40 registration processing fee instead of the conference registration cost of $450. Optionally, students can request a lodging scholarship (two nights of complimentary shared lodging—September 8 and 9) and/or travel stipend ($500).

Faculty Grant
Faculty must be a WiCyS Student Chapter Advisor or a WiCyS faculty member that has not attended WiCyS in the past.
Faculty Members can apply for a discounted conference registration fee instead of the conference registration cost of $450, lodging (two nights of complimentary shared lodging -September 8 and 9) and/or a travel stipend ($500).

Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) Fellowship Award
For WiCyS members that identify as part of the BIPOC community.
Members of the BIPOC community can apply for a discounted conference registration fee instead of the conference registration cost of $450, lodging (two nights of complimentary shared lodging -September 8 and 9), a travel stipend ($500) and/or a WiCyS membership refund.

- For students, select a faculty reference who knows you and knows you’re applying for this scholarship. Please follow up with your faculty reference to confirm they received this request.
