The Association for Computing Machinery proposes to provide scholarships to enable greater participation in the 2017 Richard Tapia Celebration of Diversity in Computing Conference. That annual conference celebrates diversity in computing, bringing together students, faculty, and professionals in computer science and computer engineering who represent diversity across backgrounds, gender, ethnicity, and disability status. The conference enables attendees to connect with each other, receive mentoring from more senior community members, and be inspired by leaders in computer science and computer engineering, and their research. The Tapia conference has grown from 161 participants in 2001 to almost 1,000 participants in 2016, with a diversity reflecting that of our country. In 2016, 93% of the student attendees found that the conference was inspiring, and 97% said that it provided them with an opportunity to make new connections. The scholarships funded under this proposal will be available to undergraduate and graduate students, faculty from Minority Serving Institutions, and doctoral students participating in the conference?s Doctoral Consortium.

计算机协会提议提供奖学金，以便更多地参与2017年理查德·塔皮亚计算多样性庆祝会议。这个年度会议庆祝计算机领域的多样性，汇集了计算机科学和计算机工程领域的学生、教师和专业人士，他们代表了不同背景、性别、种族和残疾状况的多样性。会议使与会者能够相互联系，接受来自更资深社区成员的指导，并受到计算机科学和计算机工程领域的领导者及其研究的启发。Tapia会议从2001年的161名与会者发展到2016年的近1000名与会者，反映了我国的多样性。2016年，93%的学生与会者认为会议鼓舞人心，97%的人表示会议为他们提供了建立新关系的机会。本提案资助的奖学金将提供给参加会议的本科生和研究生、少数民族服务机构的教师和博士生。s博士联盟。
