The Google Lime Scholarship for Students with Disabilities
$10,000 USD or $5,000 CAD
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 Google is 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 2012-2013 academic year. Selected students will also be invited
to attend the annual Google Scholars' Retreat at the Googleplex in Mountain
View, California, in 2012. 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).
