The Anita Borg Memorial Scholarships are a set of scholarships for women studying computing at university at undergraduate and postgraduate level. They are funded and administered by Google in memory of Anita Borg.
Program
The scholarship is open to students at the Bachelors, Masters and PhD level who have at least one year of their program remaining. The scholarship value is around USD 1500–10000 and is competitively awarded based on essays and interviews. In addition, scholars and finalists usually have a retreat at a local Google office.
