A Diversity of Scholars - A Tapestry of Discovery
The 2005 Tapia Conference scholarships have been established to encourage and
support participation in the conference by people from groups that are
underrepresented in computer science and computer engineering. Scholarships to
cover
travel, hotel accommodations, meals, and conference registration, are being
provided to assure the attendance of those who would otherwise be unable to
attend and ensure diversity in conference attendance. Preference will be given
to
students and mentors (from academia, industry, or government) who present
posters, papers, and panels at the conference. In addition, preference will be
given to faculty teams who bring students. The determination of the awards will
be based on need.
Scholarship applications must contain:
1. Contact Information
This should include the applicant's full name, school name and address, home
and email addresses, and phone number(s) where the applicant can be reached
during Summer 2005.
