This year the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing Conference includes a hardware track. But wait, there's more: Two women will receive scholarships to attend the conference.

According to the announcement, "In recognition of the introduction of the hardware track at this year’s conference, the VLSI Group at Sun Microsystems Laboratories is providing scholarships to enable two women students interested in hardware development to attend the conference. The scholarships will cover travel and registration for two women students in the field of computer hardware to attend GHC 2008. The scholarships will be awarded to applicants focusing on hardware development with preferred knowledge in the areas of Multi-core architectures, CAD tool research and Parallel programming."

The scholarship application deadline is June 15: http://gracehopper.org/2008/participate/student-scholarships/
