WECode is an annual undergraduate technology conference organized by Harvard Undergraduate Women in Computer Science. The 2026 edition ran at Harvard University on February 21–22, with an in-person program and a broader virtual conference option.
The scholarship supported current undergraduates who identify as women or gender minorities and wanted to attend in person. Recipients could join workshops, talks, mentorship circles, and networking activities while the award reduced ticket and travel costs.
Benefits & funding
- A $200 award toward the early-bird conference ticket and related expenses such as flights, additional food, and local transportation.
- Tech Fellows already receive free conference admission, so their $200 scholarship award excludes the ticket price.
- Awards are limited and selected using financial need and the expected benefit of attending in person.
Eligibility
- Applicants must be current undergraduate students.
- Applicants must identify as women or as members of a gender minority.
- Domestic and international students are eligible; no nationality restriction is stated.
- Selection considers financial need and essay responses explaining how the applicant would benefit from the in-person conference.
