Scholarships, Grants, and Fellowship Awards

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 must be a WiCyS Student Chapter Advisor or a WiCyS faculty member that has not attended WiCyS in the past.
