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).

Eligibility Requirements

Candidates must be:

*	A student entering their junior or senior year of undergraduate
study or be enrolled in a graduate program in the 2009-2010 academic
year at a university in the United States or Canada (in addition to US
and Canada citizens, international students with disabilities studying
at universities in the US or Canada are also encouraged to apply) 
*	Enrolled in a Computer Science or Computer Engineering program,
or a closely related technical field as a full-time student for the
2009-2010 academic year 
*	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 activities that others may consider a daily
function); this definition also includes the perception among others
that a disability exists 

 

How To Apply

Candidates will apply online via the Lime online application process,
and provide the following:

*	Contact and education information 
*	Current resume 
*	Academic transcripts 
*	Answers to essay questions
