Grants to USA, Canada, and International students to defray the costs of attending a technical symposium about cyber security. Grants are made to full-time students, female scientists and those from underrepresented groups, and undergraduate or graduate computer science students who are Black, African American, or members of the larger African Diaspora. Grants are available for both in-person and virtual attendees. Priority will be given to first-time applicants.
The 31st USENIX Security Symposium will take place on August 10–12, 2022, at the Boston Marriott Copley Place in Boston, MA, USA.

Student Grant Program: The USENIX Student Grant Program provides funds to cover registration fees and assist with travel and accommodation expenses for full-time students attending accredited institutions who wish to attend USENIX conferences and workshops.
Diversity Grant Program: As part of USENIX's ongoing commitment to encourage diversity in advanced computing, USENIX offers Diversity Grants to support computer scientists interested in attending the conferences. All computer scientists from academia or industry who identify as female or who are members of groups underrepresented in tech are encouraged to apply. Applicants must also work in or study computer science or a related field, and attend all days of the main conference program for which they are applying. Successful applicants will receive funds to help defray the expense of conference attendance.
Grants for Black Students: In addition to the Diversity Grants, USENIX is pleased to offer grants to support Black computer science students interested in attending USENIX Conferences.
