Chapter Grants Program: Chapter activities and events are the lifeblood of our membership and the IEEE Computer Society is excited to support chapters with funds to help make extraordinary chapter events possible.
Core Funding: Each Section Chapter should receive a minimum of USD $200 from their Section. Additional funding is at the section’s discretion, and chapters may need to submit a budget or meet other requirements to receive it. Contact your section chair for a full list of requirements. The Computer Society will match that with USD $200 (provided chapters meet the qualifications).
Incentive Funding: As a reward for Section Chapters and Joint Chapters that are best advancing our strategic goals, they will be provided with additional funding. This will be determined using the point system below.
The IEEE Computer Society has various recognition opportunities for professionals and students participating in our chapters. We encourage everyone to apply or nominate a colleague for an award, scholarship, and contests.
Invite an accomplished leader in computing and tech to your next chapter event. Visit our Distinguished Visitor Program page for more information on the application process. The Computer Society will also fund the travel of speakers to visit both Student and Professional Chapters.
Although CS membership is not required to participate in student chapter events, we encourage students to become CS members and unlock access to various additional resources that can help you start your computing career. CS Student membership offers students:
IEEE Computer Society’s brand guide includes important guidelines for a cohesive identity and voice. This includes logos, typefaces, and colors.
