Google scholarships in Europe, Middle East and Africa: Accepting applications for 2012!


Today we are excited to announce that applications are now being accepted for two scholarships in 2012.
  • Google Europe Scholarship for Students with Disabilities is now open to students with a disability who will be enrolled in study for the 2012/2013 academic year at a university in Europe. Students must be enrolled in a computer science, computer engineering, informatics or closely related technical program. People with a disability, mental health or other long term health condition (including dyslexia, dyspraxia, visual impairment, hearing impairment, diabetes, epilepsy, depression, anxiety disorders, and any other physical or mental impairments or health conditions) are eligible to apply.
  • Google Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship: Europe, Middle East and Africa is now open to current female students who will be enrolled in study for the 2012/2013 academic year at a university in Europe, Middle East and Africa. Students must be enrolled in a computer science, computer engineering, informatics or closely related technical program and maintain a record of strong academic performance.
The deadline for both of the scholarships is 1st February 2012 and the announcement will be made in May 2012. Scholarship recipients will receive a EUR 7,000 scholarship and Scholars and Finalists will be invited to attend a networking retreat in June which will be held at a Google office in Europe. Take a look at the following video to hear some inspirational words from scholarship recipients for 2011 speaking at the Scholars’ Retreat earlier this Summer.





Finally, these scholarships are just two of the opportunities we offer to students in order to encourage them to excel in technology and become active role models and leaders in the field. For more information about other Google programs in EMEA, please visit www.google.com/university/emea.
