Educator's Grant Program

Call for Participation

We invite participation in the Educator's Grant Program, which is designed to help increase the participation of women and minorities in software engineering. The program will fund faculty from institutions with a large minority or female student enrollment to attend FSE-12 and two special half-day tutorials targeted, but not limited, to this group (see tutorials page for more information). Depending on the availability of funds, expenses for travel, hotel accommodations, and registration for both the tutorials and FSE-12, can be covered. The tutorials will be held on November 1, the day before FSE-12.

The funding for the project is provided by National Science Foundation. This funding must be used to support faculty at US institutions only. Others are welcome to participate in the EGP/tutorials but must provide their own funding.
