The Google Anita Borg
Memorial Scholarship: Asia Pacific

Google Scholarships & Programs. As part of Google's ongoing commitment to advancing computing and technology, we are pleased to provide scholarships and programs to encourage students to excel in their studies and become active role models and leaders. We hope these programs also help in dismantling barriers that keep women and minorities from entering computing and technology fields.

The Scholarship

A group of female undergraduate and graduate students will be chosen from the applicant pool across Australia, China Mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan, New Zealand, Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia and India. Scholarships will be awarded based on the strength of each candidate's academic background and demonstrated leadership. All scholarship recipients will be invited to attend our annual Google scholars’ retreat in the Google Hyderbaad office from August 30th to September 2nd 2016.
