Google believes diverse attributes, experiences, and perspectives are needed to build tools that can change the world. They also believe that everyone deserves an opportunity to pursue connections in the industry, networking with peers, and a career path in technology.
To help break down the barriers that prevent underrepresented groups in technology and business from attending leading conferences, they are excited to offer Google Conference Scholarships for selected conferences in the tech industry and related fields.
Scholarship
The cap is $3,000 USD towards travel and lodging cost. The scholarship amount depends on the cost of the international conference.
Eligibility
To be eligible for a scholarship to attend an international conference, applicants must:
Be a full-time student enrolled with a recognized university in Africa who is in need of conference travel funds.
Have a paper accepted at a top-tier computer science conference. Google prefers to support conferences in research areas where they have a strong interest.
Be the sole or joint first author of the accepted paper.
Google employees are not eligible to apply for Google scholarships. Persons who are (1) residents of embargoed countries, (2) ordinarily resident in embargoed countries, or (3) otherwise prohibited by applicable export controls and sanctions programs may not apply for this scholarship.
