Dedicated to building the next generation of leaders

The All Builders Welcome (ABW) Grant was started to provide early-career technologists the support and access they need to succeed — allowing the next generation of builders to develop new skills, find community, and contribute to the future of technology.  

The ABW Grant covers the cost of in-person attendance to re:Invent 2026 for those just beginning their journey into tech or are within the first five years of their career. This year, a limited number of grants will also be awarded to select university students preparing for a role in tech. 

Throughout re:Invent, grant participants will have access to the full agenda alongside a specially curated program featuring a welcome event, peer meetup, and mentorship with AWS experts. Participants leave with lasting relationships and a network they can rely on throughout their careers.

The Grant covers a full conference pass, airfare, and hotel accommodations for five nights. Applications are now open and close on July 14.
