About

We are ACM-W, the Association for Computing Machinery's Council on Women in Computing, a club on campus at UC Santa Cruz that provides a support system and resources for women pursuing computer science.

We are raising funds to provide scholarships for students to attend the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing, also known as GHC. This conference is the world’s largest gathering of women technologists and offers many resources to help women in tech succeed, such as networking, educational talks, internship opportunities, and more.

To make this opportunity more accessible to our community, we are providing scholarships to fully pay for $1,200 in-person or $300 virtual conference tickets. With the help of Giving Day, we were able to send over 50 students to GHC in the past few years, and we hope to send even more next year in 2026! Our scholarship recipients had amazing experiences that helped broaden their horizons and teach them about a career in the tech industry.

Make your gift to ACM-W today to allow us to send more women in computer science to GHC and set them on the path to success.
