IEEE WIE Travel Grant Program — Forum / Summit

The IEEE WIE Travel Grant Program reimburses eligible IEEE Women in Engineering members for attending and presenting at IEEE-sponsored conferences or IEEE WIE-sponsored events. The applicant chooses the event; there is no single host city or country.

The program uses event-month deadlines and requires in-person attendance. Successful applicants complete post-event reporting before reimbursement.

Benefits & funding

The grant reimburses eligible travel costs up to US$750 after the approved event is attended in person.
Reimbursement requires a completed post-event report with photos and an expense report with receipts within 30 days after the event.

Eligibility

Applicants must be current IEEE WIE members in at least their second consecutive year of WIE membership.
The trip must support attendance and presentation at an IEEE-sponsored conference or attendance at an IEEE WIE-sponsored event.
A recipient may receive this travel grant only once in any 12-month period, and only one author per conference paper may receive it.
IEEE WIE International Leadership Conference, IEEE Regional Annual General Meeting, and IEEE WIE International Leadership Summit are ineligible.
The published rules state no nationality, residency, degree, age, or gender restriction.
