Folks,

If you know a blind student studying computer science or a 
closely-related field, the new Google scholarship, below may be quite 
useful.  Note the June 1 deadline to apply.

Introducing the Google Lime Scholarship

4/15/2009 01:10:00 PM

Today, we're pleased to announce the most recent addition to our 
scholarship programs, the Google Lime Scholarship for Students with 
Disabilities. We're

partnering with
Lime
  to offer scholarships to students with disabilities who are 
pursuing university degrees in the field of computer science in 
Canada or the U.S. Lime is

a not-for-profit organization that brings together global 
corporations and people with disabilities, bringing to light an 
untapped source of talent. Scholarships

will be granted for the 2009-2010 academic year, and recipients will 
be invited to attend an all-expenses-paid retreat at the Googleplex 
in Mountain View

in 2010.

We hope that this program will increase opportunities for students 
with disabilities and encourage them to pursue careers in computer 
science. We also

hope to foster long-lasting relationships through which these 
students can support each other over the course of their academic studies.

The deadline to apply for this year's Lime Scholarship is June 1, 
2009. For complete details, visit
