Google Scholarship Program expands in China
October 9, 2011
From August 10 to 12, 2011, we hosted more than 150 scholarship recipients and faculty members for the 2011 Google Scholarship Program Award Ceremony and Scholars’ Retreat in Beijing. These outstanding undergraduate, graduate, and PhD computer science and software engineering students, coming from more than 30 universities across
China Mainland
,
Taiwan
,
Japan, Korea and Southeast Asia
, were the recipients of this year’s Google Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship and
Google Excellence Scholarship
. The Google Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship Program is built to encourage women who excel in the world of computing and technology to become active role models and leaders in their selective fields. The Google Excellence scholarship recognizes outstanding students who study computer science or software engineering, and encourages them to continue to excel in these fields through research and innovation. It was a rare and exciting experience to have so many enthusiastic students coming together from numerous countries and regions in Beijing.
During the two-and-a-half day event, students and faculty members had an intensive agenda, where they were able to experience a one-day city tour of Beijing, followed by a variety of talks by Googlers. Participants were given the opportunity to communicate and network with several Google engineers and product managers in panel discussions and product demos, and share creative ideas with scholars from different regions in several breakout sessions.
In 2010, the Google Scholarship Program kicked off with 20 universities participating from China. This year, the Scholarship Program expanded to 22 universities, with a simultaneous increase in the number of scholarship recipients. The Google Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship program expanded to five additional universities awarding 68 students from ten different universities. The Google Excellence Scholarship program expanded to two more universities in Mainland China awarding 110 students from 22 universities.
While Google strongly values technological innovation and development, we also continue to value the importance of creating and maintaining strong relationships with the leading academic institutions in our APAC region. By creating a supportive environment for these young and talented students and professionals, we are leading each of these individuals to realize that they hold the future of technology in their hands. We hope to continue developing a global supportive peer network that will connect the growing pool of talented individuals in the world of women and technology.
