Recognising 40 Google Anita Borg Scholarship recipients in Europe, Middle East and Africa
June 17, 2015
We are delighted to recognize and congratulate the 40 recipients of the Google Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The full list of our 2015 scholars and the universities they attend can be found on the
scholarships website
.
The Google Anita Borg Memorial scholarship aims to encourage female students to enter the computing field. It honours
Dr. Anita Borg
, who devoted her life to encouraging the presence of women in computing through the "50/50 by 2020" initiative, so that women earning computing degrees would be 50% of the graduates by year 2020.
All of the students receiving the scholarship are pursuing degrees in Computer Science or related fields at universities across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. This summer, they’ll join the annual Google EMEA Scholars’ Retreat in London, where they’ll have the opportunity to attend tech talks about Google products, participate in developmental sessions, network with Googlers and attend social activities.
Applications for our 2016 Google Anita Borg Scholarship will open again in the fall. Please follow our updates on the
scholarship site
, where we will post the exact opening date soon.
For more information on all of our scholarships and programs, please visit the
Google Students
site.
