In 2010, we launched the Anita Borg Scholarship for First Years-- a program for female high school seniors entering their first year in a university and intending to study computer science. Since then, we have awarded this scholarship to 14 women who are now in the midst of their undergraduate studies in computer science.
The success of the Anita Borg Scholarship for First Years inspired us to broaden the scholarship to support more students who are historically underrepresented in technology. Today, we are proud to announce the Generation Google Scholarship for current high school seniors intending to study computer science at a university in the US or Canada. Scholarship recipients will receive an academic scholarship for up to four years (or until graduation, whichever comes first), as well as be invited to attend Google’s Computer Science Summer Institute the summer following their first year of undergraduate study.
Who can apply?
Applicants must be high school seniors and meet the following eligibility criteria:
Intends to be enrolled in or accepted as a full-time student at a university in the US or Canada for the 2012-2013 school year
