Google Lime Scholarship for Students with  Disabilities
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 partner with Lime. 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 receive a  scholarship for the 
2009–2010 academic year. Selected students will also be  invited to attend 
the all-expenses-paid retreat at the Googleplex in Mountain  View, CA, in 
2010. Scholarships will be awarded based on the strength of  candidates’ 
academic background and demonstrated passion - $10,000USD for  those studying in 
the US and $5,000CAD for those studying in Canada (based on  average tuition 
costs).

in the US or Canada are also  encouraged to apply)

considers themselves to have, a  long-term, or recurring, issue that impacts one or 
more activities that  others may consider a daily function); this
