Google scholarships recognize 84 computer science scholars in Europe, Middle East, and Africa
June 19, 2013
Cross-posted from the
Official Google Blog
We’d like to recognize and congratulate the 84 recipients and finalists of the Google Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship and Google Scholarship for Students with Disabilities in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The full list of the 2013 scholars and finalists and the universities they attend can be found in this
PDF
.
Both scholarships aim to encourage underrepresented students to enter the computing field. The
Google Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship
honours the memory of
Dr. Anita Borg
who devoted her life to encouraging the presence of women in computing; we recently announced the
U.S. recipients
of this scholarship. The
Google Europe Scholarship for Students with Disabilities
aims to help dismantle barriers for students with disabilities as well as encourage them to excel in their studies and become active role models and leaders in creating technology.
All of the students receiving the scholarships are pursuing degrees in computer science or related fields at universities across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. This summer, they’ll attend the annual Google EMEA Scholarships Retreat in Zurich, where they’ll have the opportunity to attend tech talks on Google products, participate in developmental sessions, network with Googlers and attend social activities. Notable speakers at the 2013 retreat include Alan Eustace, SVP of Knowledge, Megan Smith, VP of Google [x], and Carolyn Casey, Founder of
Kanchi.org
.
Applications for the scholarships will be open again in just a few short months. Learn more about how the scholarships impacted the lives of previous recipients:
