Women in Technology Scholarships
I got this in an email from Google. I hope it helps someone.
Good Luck. + Supporting women in technology + For several years, Google has honored the legacy of computer scientist Dr. Anita Borg with a scholarship program designed to encourage women to pursue careers in computer science and technology. The awards are $10,000 scholarships for outstanding female undergraduate and graduate students completing their degrees in computer science or related fields. Why are we doing this? Because we believe in what the Anita Borg Institute calls the "virtuous cycle." Through this scholarship program and other efforts, we hope more women can be encouraged to embrace engineering and technical professions and learn the skills of leadership. Then they can use those capabilities to influence how technology is designed and used, and focus on practical solutions to global issues - energy, food, illiteracy, environment, elder care, disease control - that confront us all. As the products and services resulting from their innovations permeate the global market, new generations of women will follow, in a profession that is increasingly more supportive of women. The Institute is named for a renowned computer scientist who spent her life inspiring and motivating women to become active participants and leaders in the technology revolution that can benefit all of us. For the 2006-2007 academic year, Google received 324 applications from students at 90 different universities across the country. We awarded scholarship support to 47 young women, and look forward to their successes in the coming years. http://www.anitaborg.org |
