Google Travel and Conference Grants 

To help break down the barriers that prevent underrepresented groups in computer science from attending leading tech conferences, Google offers Travel and Conference Grants for selected conferences in Computer Science and related fields including, most recently the ACM Richard Tapia Celebration of Diversity in Computing Conference. 

Grants are available in North America for all traditionally underrepresented groups in technology (including, but not limited to, African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, persons with disabilities, women and veterans) and in Europe for women in technology.

To be eligible for a grant to attend a conference in North America, applicants must:
  • Be a resident of North America
  • Be 18 years of age or older
  • Work or study in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Technology, or a technical field related to the conference subject
  • Have a strong academic and/or professional background with demonstrated leadership ability
  • Be able to attend the core days of the conference to which they are applying
