Google Lime Scholarship for Students with Disabilities

Overview

Access to knowledge is our thing. When it comes to higher education for promising scholars, we don't want anything to stand in the way. That's why we're proud to support the work of Lime Connect. Google is committed to helping the innovators of the future make the most of their talents by providing scholarships and networking retreats for computer science students with disabilities.

Recipients of the Google Lime Scholarship will each receive a scholarship for the 2011-2012 academic year. Selected students will also be invited to attend the annual Google Scholars' Retreat at the Googleplex in Mountain View, California, in 2011. Scholarships will be awarded based on the strength of candidates' academic background and demonstrated passion for computer science - $10,000USD for those studying in the US and $5,000CAD for those studying in Canada (based on tuition costs).

Eligibility Requirements

Applicants must be:

•Pursuing a Computer Science or Computer Engineering degree, or a degree in a closely related field (such as software engineering)

•A person with a disability (defined as someone who has, or considers themselves to have, a long-term, or recurring, issue that impacts one or more major activities that others may consider to be a daily function); this definition also includes the perception among others that a disability exists
