This CISE Broadening Participation award provides funding for approximately eighty undergraduate and graduate students each year to attend the 2009 - 2011 Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing. The Grace Hopper Celebration is designed to bring the research and career interests of women in computing to the forefront. Leading researchers present their current work and special sessions focus on the role of women in today's technology fields. NSF scholarship support allows students who could not otherwise attend to participate and become part of the broad Hopper community of young female computing professionals that is nurtured through the event.The intellectual merit of this project lies in the access to the many technical presentations and researchers at the conference. In addition, students have the opportunity to participate in poster sessions and receive feedback from discipline specialists. The Grace Hopper Celebration provides a unique, supportive environment for intellectual discourse that is particularly appealing for women and other under-represented groups. The broader impacts of this project deal with providing resources and support to students that will help them persist in their programs as well as access to avenues to continue through the IT workforce pipeline. Students who attend the Grace Hopper Celebration will be exposed to women who are creating, improving, and studying computer and information technologies who serve as role models and mentors. This travel scholarship support provides a unique opportunity to directly affect the careers of future computer scientists and increase the representation of women in computing.

这个CISE扩大参与奖每年为大约80名本科生和研究生提供资金，以参加2009-2011年的Grace Hopper计算女性庆祝活动。格蕾丝·霍珀庆祝活动旨在将女性对计算机的研究和职业兴趣推向前列。领先的研究人员介绍了他们目前的工作和特别会议，重点是妇女在当今技术领域的作用。NSF的奖学金支持允许原本无法参加的学生参与进来，并成为由年轻女性计算机专业人员组成的广泛的Hopper社区的一部分，该社区通过活动得到培养。该项目的智力优势在于能够接触到会议上的许多技术演示和研究人员。此外，学生有机会参加海报会议，并收到学科专家的反馈。格蕾丝·霍珀庆典为知识话语提供了一个独特的、支持性的环境，对女性和其他代表不足的群体特别有吸引力。该项目的更广泛影响涉及为学生提供资源和支持，帮助他们坚持自己的计划，并获得通过IT劳动力管道继续下去的途径。参加格蕾丝·霍珀庆典的学生将接触到创造、改进和学习计算机和信息技术的女性，她们充当榜样和导师。这一旅行奖学金支持提供了一个独特的机会，可以直接影响未来计算机科学家的职业生涯，并增加女性在计算机领域的代表性。
