To inquire about receiving a travel grant, please email hkec@utexas.edu.
"Last year, I traveled to San Francisco to attend the annual tech and entrepreneurship conference, AfroTech. The travel grant allowed me to join thousands of Black engineers, entrepreneurs, and leaders gather to talk about tech, and network with other entrepreneurs."
