…he Grace Hopper Scholarship

+Before I get into the whole topic of the actual scholarship, I would like the reader to be informed of who Grace Hopper is and why is so important in the history of Computer Science.
+
+Grace Brewster Hopper was an American computer scientist. One of the first programmers of the Harvard Mark I computer, she was a pioneer of computer programming who invented one of the first linkers. Hopper was the first to devise the theory of machine-independent programming languages, and the FLOW-MATIC programming language she created using this theory was later extended to create COBOL, an early high-level programming language still in use today.


Please don't use something from Wikipedia directly; I think this section could probably summarized in a couple of sentences as well.

can combine with lower paragraph; also, small grammatical issue ("why she is so important"). It would probably be good of referring to the reader as "you" to keep it consistent with the other cs wiki articles (though you could argue either way on this).

+You can read more about her on: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace\_Hopper
+
+Now that you know who Grace Hopper is, let's talk about the celebration now.
+The Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing (GHC) is a series of conferences designed to bring the research and career interests of women in computing to the forefront. It is the world's largest gathering of women and non-binary technologists. The celebration, named after computer scientist Grace Hopper, is organized by the Anita Borg Institute for Women and Technology.


Again, don't copy from Wikipedia directly. Try to explain it in your words so it fits the context and audience of this article better.

It would be good to explain her notoriety (if relevant) in this article rather than making the reader do the work on their own.

The applications usually go live in mid-May, and are announced by an eemail from the Tandon OSLE office email address ([email protected]).


This is good; if you could include a link to the scholarship page itself, that could be a nice touch.

+I personally think this is a great opportunity for students to attend this amazing conference and make use of the networking opportunities as well as the on-site interviews that happen there.


Some more information here could be useful to explain more about the networking opportunities and on-site interviews

It might be good to combine this with the fellowships page. To be honest tho it is a little messy - the term fellowship means two different things:

Just a grant of money (almost same thing as a scholarship)
An actual program where you get mentorship and stuff.

https://github.com/anu0012/awesome-computer-science-opportunities#fellowshipsscholarships

This is an interesting list of both scholarships and fellowships. I meant to add it, but maybe it can be tackled here.

In addition, if you create a new page under opportunities, it may be good to add to the mermaid drawing of opportunities and their relation to goals in the root page

Thanks for the PR! I think adding scholarships is a great idea. I'm not too familiar with the distinction between fellowship/scholarship but I think it's fine to keep them separate.

Structurally, I think it might be a good idea to add some headings between the various sections (e.g. history, conference, scholarship).

Stylistically, I think right now it sounds a bit too much like a blog post rather than a wiki article. I would propose dropping the "I" pronouns (e.g. "I think this is a great opportunity" -> "This is a great opportunity"). I think these generalizations are fine. Since we don't post authorship on the articles, readers won't know who the "I" is referring to either unless they look at the git repo. We've also considered adding a blog to the cswiki. Docusaurus comes with a built-in blog component we can use.

I think it might be a good idea to add more details about the conference: how long is it, what the conference is about, why someone would want to attend, etc.

Do we know if this is available only to Tandon students or university wide?

+So keep an eye out for the same. Some of the questions that are a part of the application are:
+1. The CS and Math classes you have taken so far, and the grade attained in them.
+2. A personal statement
+3. Your cummulative GPA


Suggested change

3. Your cummulative GPA

3. Your cumulative GPA

+So now for the stuff that you were waiting for, the scholarship. Even though GHC is a really good opportunity for students to attend, it can be really costly. The passes are categorized as being either in-person or virtual. Further, there is a subcategorization of being for academics or general. Please take a look at the following table for the pricing of 2023:
+
+| In Person General | In Person Academic | Virtual General | Virtual Academic |

I think you need to push your changes still before I can merge them.

Hey Aneesh, I just saw this, thank you for your email. I did send in the commit yesterday, and it was successful. Should I do it again? Please let me know. Warm regards, Priyanka

It says the last commit was October 7th so the changes weren't pushed to your repo; you may want to take a look at that again.
