Although many awards have added Grace Hopper's name to them since her death in 1992, the original "Grace Murray Hopper Awards" have been awarded by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) since 1971. The award goes to a young (age 35 or less) computer professional who makes a single, significant technical or service contribution.
