Since we are also expanding our grant program to as diverse an applicant field as possible, we specifically are seeking outreach to underrepresented institutions and demographics, including undergrads in CS who may be interested in participating in a unique mentorship program at USENIX Security this year.

Grant Applications

Applications are open for our Student Grants, Diversity Grants, and Grants for Black Students. We encourage students to apply for one or more of these grants to help support their attendance at USENIX Security 2020 (applications are also open to attend SOUPS '20, which is co-located with Security).

Student Memberships Provide Conference Discounts

Students can also join USENIX at a reduced cost ($75), which also gives them access to either a coupon code for $75 off registration for the virtual conference or a coupon code for complimentary admission to the associated workshops and co-located events.
