5th IEEE WISC Scholarship Program

The IEEE International Symposium on Women in Services Computing (WISC) 2025 will once again be awarding scholarships, to both graduate and undergraduate students, as we continue our mission to support women pursuing technical educations. Candidates must be attending an accredited engineering or computer science institution. Please note that past awardees are not eligible.

The IEEE WISC Scholarship Program began in 2021 as a cornerstone of our commitment to growing the technical community of women in services computing all over the world.  The scholarship program is sponsored jointly by IEEE World Congress on Services (SERVICES), IEEE Technical Community on Services Computing (TCSVC), and CCF (China Computer Federation) Technical Committee on Service Computing (TCSC).
