- You must be enrolled in an accredited degree program at a higher education institution (college, community college, university, etc.) at the time of the celebration, September 26th – 29th, 2023. Those graduating from a higher education institution before the celebration are not eligible for this scholarship unless accepted to another related degree program (such as an M.A., M.S., or Ph.D. program).

If you receive a GHC Student Scholarship and do not notify AnitaB.org that you cannot attend the Celebration, you will not be eligible in future years as this takes an opportunity away from another individual that could have attended.
Please note that as a U.S.-based organization, we must comply with all applicable U.S. laws and regulations, including those regarding financial transactions with certain countries and individuals. We will contact you if these laws and regulations affect your complimentary registration/grant or if we require more information to make such a decision. You may obtain additional details regarding the laws and regulations referenced above by visiting this website.

No, the registration can only be used for GHC 23 regardless of the circumstance.
At this time, given the limited amount of complimentary registrations available, we are focusing on specific groups that are both underrepresented in the tech industry and at Grace Hopper Celebration. We are working on further expanding to include additional groups that are underrepresented in the tech industry and persons with disabilities in order to continue providing targeted services and programming in the future.
