N2Women Travel Grants


Funding for the N2Women travel grants has been graciously provided by Meta and Google. As detailed below, two different types of grants are available. The grants are handled together with the other available student travel grants. Please see the Travel Grant page for instructions on how to apply; each application will be automatically considered for all available travel grants provided that the eligibility criteria are met.


N2Women/Meta GeoDiversity Young Scholar program


This program offers multiple travel grants (up to $2000) to students from under-represented countries/regions to attend MobiCom 2023. N2Women/Meta GeoDiversity Young Scholar program aims to foster networking and leadership opportunities to geo-diverse young researchers. The program is supported by the Meta Networking team. The goal is to promote participation in conferences of young researchers/students in countries historically underrepresented in our research community, and help them create networking events in their home country. Eligibility criteria for N2Women/Meta GeoDiversity Young Scholar program travel grants: non-US female students from under-represented countries.


N2Women Regular Travel Grants


N2Women is pleased to offer six additional travel grants for MobiCom 2023 to broaden participation of female students from universities traditionally underrepresented at MobiCom. The grants are funded by Google. The travel grant (up to $1500) is available to all full-time students; priority will be given to women and other underrepresented communities.
