Announcing the 2012 Google Anita Borg Scholarship: Asia
April 22nd, 2012 | Published in Google Student Blog
Dr. Anita Borg devoted her life to revolutionizing the way we think about technology and dismantling the barriers that keep women and minorities from entering the computing and technology fields. In honor of Anita's vision, we established the Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship in 2004, awarding scholarships to women who share her passion for technology. Once again, we’re proud to announce the Google Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship in Asia. The deadline to apply for the 2012 scholarship is June 3, 2012.
The Google Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship: Asia is open to current female students who are enrolled in full-time undergraduate or postgraduate study at an university in any of the following countries: Korea, Japan, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, and Vietnam. Students should be enrolled in a computer science, computer engineering or a closely related technical program, and maintain a record of strong academic performance.
This year, we will be expanding our efforts by inviting all scholarship recipients to visit a Google office in Singapore for a networking retreat where students will be able to meet fellow scholars from all over the Asia Pacific region. This includes students from the eight countries listed above as well the from Australia, China Mainland, Taiwan, India, and New Zealand. The retreat will include workshops with a series of speakers, panels, breakout sessions and social activities, and will provide an opportunity to meet and share experiences.
For those of you outside the countries listed above, the Google Anita Borg Scholarship program is also available in Africa, Australia, Canada, China Mainland, Taiwan, India, Europe, the Middle East, New Zealand, and the United States.
