SC09 Offers Student Mentoring and Grants for Travel Assistance

SC09, the international conference for high performance computing, networking, storage and analysis, takes place November 14-20, 2009 in Austin, Texas.

SC09, sponsored by the ACM and the IEEE Computer Society, offers a complete technical education program and exhibition to showcase the many ways high performance computing, networking, storage and analysis lead to advances in scientific discovery, research, education and commerce. http://supercomputing.org/

The SC09 Broader Engagement (BE) initiative will award participation grants to provide travel assistance to individuals from groups that have traditionally been under-represented in computing.

Applications for SC09 Broader Engagement travel assistance grants are being accepted through August 3, 2009. In addition to receiving complimentary conference registration, grant recipients will be reimbursed for their SC09 lodging and transportation expenses. Applications are encouraged from students and young professionals in all computing-related disciplines.
