Brought to you from your @GoogleStudents friends. From pre-university to PhD (and beyond), we got you.
Congrats to Google Scholarship winners
September 11, 2008
At Google, we are trying to do more to increase diversity in the technology industry. If you are a computer science major you probably already know that women and minorities are significantly under-represented in the field. Did you know that each year 78% of computer science degrees are awarded to male students? According to studies conducted by the
National Science Foundation
, the annual graduation rate for women in computer science is just 22%, just 6.5% for Hispanic students, 4.8% for African American students, and under 1% of computer science degrees are awarded to American Indian students.
As part of our global efforts to increase diversity in our industry, we are pleased to announce the recipients of
Google's 2008 Scholarship Programs
, in partnership with the United Negro College Fund, the Hispanic College Fund, and the American Indian Science & Engineering Society.
Please join us in congratulating the 42 computer science students who have been recognized for their outstanding academic and leadership accomplishments in the computer science field. Each of these students will receive a $10,000 academic scholarship from Google, as well as an invitation to attend the all-expenses-paid
Annual Google Scholars' Retreat
, held each Spring at the
Googleplex
in Mountain View, California.
