From Google, April 14, 2009
Google and Lime are pleased to announce a new scholarship program, Google Lime Scholarship for Students with Disabilities. Google Lime Scholarships are for students with disabilities studying Computer Science or Computer Engineering who have shown academic strength and demonstrated a passion for computer science. 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.
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. The Google Lime Scholarship provides $10,000USD for students studying in the US and $5000CAD for students studying in Canada – plus an invitation to attend the all-expenses-paid retreat at the Googleplex in Mountain View, CA 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 www.google.com/jobs/scholarships.
