The Google Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship is a scholarship award initiated by the Google giant in honour of her blessed memory, Anita Borg.
Her capacity to mix technical expertise and a
relentless vision inspired, motivated and moved
women to embrace technology instead of avoiding or ignoring it. She touched and changed the lives of countless women in the computing fields
and beyond.
Dr. Anita Borg (1949–2003) believed that technology affects all aspects of our economic, political, social and
personal lives. A technology rebel with a cause, in her life she fought tirelessly to ensure that technology's impact would be a positive one. It was this vision that inspired Anita in 1997 to found the Institute for Women and Technology. Today this
organization continues on her legacy and bears her name, The Anita Borg Institute for Women and Technology ( www.anitaborg.org).
The Scholarship:
Dr. Anita Borg devoted her adult life to
revolutionizing the way we think about technology and dismantling barriers that keep women and minorities from entering computing and technology fields. Her combination of technical expertise and
fearless vision continuesed to inspire and motivate countless women to become active participants and leaders in creating technology.
In her honor, Google is proud to honor Anita's
memory and support women in technology with the Google Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship. Google hopes to encourage women to excel in computing
and technology and become active role models and leaders in the field.
Google Anita Borg Scholarship recipients will each receive a financial award for the academic year. A group of female undergraduate and graduate
students will be chosen from the applicant pool, and scholarships will be awarded based on the strength of each candidate's academic background and demonstrated leadership.
In addition, all scholarship recipients and finalists will be invited to attend a retreat at Google. Google knows how important a supportive peer network can be for a student's success. The retreat will include
workshops, speakers, panelists, breakout sessions and social activities scheduled over a couple of days. If you wish to apply for the scholarship, visit www.anitaborg.org to apply. Good luck! Please like our facebook page on www.facebook.com/successminds.net
