  • Start-Up Funding (up to $3,000): Students looking to start a new ACM-W chapter on campus can apply for funds to help launch their group.

The application deadline is October 30, 2015. Winners will be notified by January 2016. In order to be eligible, the host institution must be an NCWIT non-profit Academic Alliance Member within the United States.
