As part of Google’s ongoing commitment to furthering Anita’s vision, Google are pleased to announce The Google Canada Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship, through which Google hope to encourage women to excel in computing and technology and become active role models and leaders.

Scholarships will be awarded based on the strength of candidates’ academic background and demonstrated leadership. A group of female undergraduate and graduate student finalists will be chosen from the applicant pool.

The scholarship recipients will each receive a $5,000 CAD scholarship for the academic year.

All scholarship recipients and finalists will be invited to visit Google for a networking retreat which will include workshops with a series of speakers, panelists, breakout sessions and social activities.
