  Broader Engagement Program
  
  Apply now for a BE grant.
  Goals of the Program
  The goal of the Broader Engagement (BE) Program is to increase the participation of individuals who have been traditionally underrepresented in high performance computing (HPC). The program offers special activities to introduce, engage and support a diverse community in the conference and in HPC. Competitive grants will be available to support travel to and participation in the SC'11 technical program. Consideration will be given to applicants from groups that traditionally have been underrepresented in HPC, such as African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders, and other underrepresented groups around the world, including women and people with disabilities. We encourage applications from people in all computing-related disciplines-from research, education and industry.
  
  Information for the Grant Applicants
  This year, two types of grants are available to BE participants: Standard Track and Advanced Track.
  
  Standard Track
  * Access to the standard technical program, including papers, panels, plenary sessions, birds-of-a-feather sessions and exhibits, but not including tutorials. * Access to the specialized BE community programs, including special events, the mentor/protégé program, specialized technical and professional development sessions. * Eligible for financial support for registration, lodging, travel, and incidentals.
  
  Advanced Track
  * Access to all of the standard track elements. * Access to SC11 tutorials (waiving the substantial tutorial registration fees). * Requires that applicants are responsible for their main technical program registration (at the level of society member early registration). Advanced applicants can request mentoring from the program to help the applicant find additional support for their registration. * Eligible for financial support for lodging, travel and incidentals.
  
  There is an optional early-response/notification date by which we can notify you of acceptance into the program at the advanced level. Advanced Track applications received by Friday, July 15 can request an early notification by Friday, August 5.

  Broader Engagement Activities at SC11:
  
  Student Job Fair
  Students will have the opportunity to have one-on-one interactions with the recruiters at the job fair.
  
  Mentor/Protégé Program
  SC11 Communities participants (Student Cluster Challenge, Student Volunteers, Broader Engagement and Education) are matched with mentors who self-identify via their registration forms. In addition to your self-scheduled interactions with your mentors, there is a Mentor/Protégé Mixer to facilitate mentor/protégé dialogues. More information can also be found on the Mentor/Protégé page.
  
  Communities-Exhibitor Scavenger Hunt
  Take part in this year's SC Communities BE Scavenger Hunt! Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to use the given clues to find each of the exhibitor booths that have agreed to be in the hunt. Each clue is linked to an exhibitor booth, which has a unique stamp. When you find a booth and its clue, spend some time in the booth, observe their displays, talk to the exhibitor and tell the exhibitor you know they are the answer to the particular clue. The exhibitor will put their stamp next to the clue and then you can move on to the next booth. This is a great chance to navigate through the exhibit floor, learn a lot and win some great prizes. The hunt starts when the exhibit floor opens and ends as the exhibit floor closes each day. Take the challenge by picking up a form at the SC Communities booth.
