FACULTY: Do you need travel funds to send your female graduate student to a quality technical conference?
STUDENTS: Are you looking to expand your professional network, get experience with event organization and obtain travel funds to go to a premier conference?
N2' Women (Networking Networking Women) announces the continued support of our N2' Women Student Fellowships. Funding for these fellowships has generously been provided by HP Labs and Microsoft Research. These awards will partially cover a student's travel cost (up to $500) to a meeting where an N2' Women event will be held. In exchange, the student must help organize the N2' Women meeting. The benefit of doing the organization, in addition to the travel funds, is for the student to connect with the organizers of the conference who are, typically, leaders in the research field. We will arrange for a faculty or research member of N2' Women to assist/mentor the student in this task.
