How to Attend Grace Hopper
WiCS Sponsorships (Faculty of Math Students Only)
Full Sponsorship
Every year WiCS fully funds (admission, airfare, and accommodations) a group of Faculty of Mathematics students to attend GHC. Join our mailing list to receive information on how you can apply to attend with WiCS. Applications usually happen in early spring.
Every student who receives funding to attend must write a reflection about their experience.
Applications for 2024 are closed.
Partial Sponsorship (GHC 2024)
WiCS is pleased to offer funding to help cover the admission cost of GHC 2024 for self-funded students. There is $10 000 CAD available this year to help offset the cost of attending GHC. The amount allocated to each self-funded student will depend on how many people apply (e.g., if 10 people apply for funding each person will receive $1000, if 20 people apply each person will receive $500, and so on).
To be eligible for partial funding you must submit proof of purchase of admission to the Grace Hopper Conference. WiCS will share how much each attendee will receive after the application form is closed. Attendees who apply will receive the funds AFTER the Grace Hopper Conference in October.
Applications for 2024 are closed.
Attending Self-Funded
Everyone is welcome to attend GHC with WiCS! If you choose to self-fund you are responsible for purchasing your ticket, mode of transport, and accommodations. WiCS invites self-funded students to join our pre-conference networking events, Discord channel, and our group at the conference.
