Google Scholarships

As part of Google's ongoing commitment to advancing computing and technology, we are pleased to provide scholarships 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.

We currently offer the following scholarship programs:

Academic Scholarships

The Google Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship was established to honor the legacy of Anita Borg and her efforts to encourage women to pursue careers in computer science and technology. The scholarship is offered in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Australia.

The program offers "last dollar" scholarships based upon unmet financial need for students majoring in computer science or computer engineering.
