<br><a name="1199bd0b274579bb_ACM-W"><b>ACM-W Student Scholarships for Attendance at Research Conferences</b></a><br>A program launched by ACM's Committee on Women in Computing (<a href="http://women.acm.org/" target="_blank">ACM-W</a>) provides support for undergraduate or graduate women students in Computer Science programs who are interested in attending research conferences. It is not required that the student present a paper at the conference she attends. High school students will also be considered for conference support. Initially, up to 12 scholarships of up to $500 each will be awarded annually. ACM-W also encourages the student's home department to match the scholarship award and recognize the student's achievement locally within her department. Applications will be evaluated in four groups each year, in order to distribute awards across a range of conferences, with two to three awards given each quarter. For application form, notification dates and more information, please visit the <a href="http://women.acm.org/scholarships.html" target="_blank">scholarships page</a>. <br>

Java Engagement for Teacher Training (<a href="http://jett.acm.org/" target="_blank">JETT</a>) and Teacher Enrichment in Computer Science (<a href="http://tecs.acm.org/" target="_blank">TECS</a>) are one- and two-day workshops for high school teachers, hosted by college and university CS students and faculty. Hosting a JETT or TECS workshop is a great volunteer experience for individual student ACM members, as well as student chapters.
