Google Scholarship program kicks off in China
August 31st, 2010 | Published in Google Student Blog
In August, we hosted more than 130 Google Scholarship recipients in our Beijing office. These outstanding undergraduates and graduate students in computer science and software engineering from more than 20 universities across China were the recipients of the Google Excellence Scholarship and the Google Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship — our first scholarships in China. The students participated in an awards ceremony, toured the Google office and communicated with Google Engineers and PMs during breakout sessions.
The Google Excellence Scholarship aims to award the outstanding undergraduates and master degree students from both computer science and software engineering disciplines. It has been set up at 20 top universities in China, with five awardees for each university—three undergraduates and two graduates.
The Google Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship supports outstanding female students in computer science discipline, including undergraduates, master degree students and PhD students, at five top universities, including Fudan University, Peking University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Sun Yat-sen University and Tsinghua University. There are six awardees for each university (three undergrad and three grad), as well as three awardees from Taiwan.
Congratulations to all the Google Scholarship recipients! Check out our video below to hear from professors and scholars in their own words:
