Application Deadline: March 6, 2019 at 5 p.m. PT.

The 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.

Student Eligibility

• You must be a full-time student enrolled in an accredited degree program at a college, university, or high school at the time of applying.
• You 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.
• You cannot have been an AnitaB.org-GHC Scholarship recipient in 2018.
• You must be at least 18 years of age by October 2, 2019.
• You cannot accept more than one scholarship to attend GHC.
• If you receive a scholarship and do not notify AnitaB.org that you cannot attend prior to the Celebration, you will not be eligible in future years as this takes a scholarship away from another student that could have attended.

Student Scholars

• Student scholars are active in their community, including being involved with campus computing/STEM clubs and working toward the advancement of women in computing.
• Student scholars have an understanding of how attending GHC will have an impact on them and any messages or key learnings they take back to share at their schools.
