The SC09 Education Program will occur November 14-17, 2009, in Portland, Oregon. Participants will be engaged in hands-on activities to engage them in applying computational science, grid computing and high performance computing resources in education.

Housing, travel, conference registration and meal costs are provided for participants. Participants are asked to pay a registration fee of $75 to cover food and materials. This fee will be refunded if notification of cancellations is received by October 1, 2009. Scholarships are available for people unable to cover the registration fee. Scholarship application instructions will be sent to participants once they are accepted.

Education Program participants are encouraged to stay for the full SC09 conference to benefit from all that the conference has to offer. Participants will need to cover their own housing and meals after November 17 through the remainder of the conference.

The program is open to undergraduate faculty, undergraduate and graduate students, and high school teachers.
