Scholarships in Support of Tapia Conference Participation
The 2003 Tapia Conference scholarships have been established to
encourage and support participation in the conference by people
from groups that are underrepresented in computer science and
computer engineering. Scholarships to cover travel, hotel
accommodations, meals, and conference registration, are being
provided to assure the attendance of those who would otherwise be
unable to attend and ensure diversity in conference attendance.
Preference will be given to students and mentors (from academia,
industry, or government) who present posters and papers at the
conference. In addition, preference will be given to faculty
teams who bring students. The determination of the awards will be
based on need.
Scholarship applications must contain:
- Contact Information
This should include the applicant's full name, school name and address, home and email addresses,
and phone number(s) where the applicant can be reached during Summer 2003.
- Demonstration of Financial Need
This should include an explanation of the financial circumstances of the applicant.

conference, and describe their contribution to any activities
involving underrepresented groups in science and technology.

computer science or engineering. They should also include a
