Google Global Community Scholarship for the Grace Hopper Conference
Google has created this scholarship to encourage women to pursue and excel in the
fields of computing and technology. The scholarship will assist students in attending
the October Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing Conference. The conference
will include presentations by leading researchers and special sessions concentration
on a female’s role in technology. Previous conferences have resulted in proposals,
networking, mentoring, and visibility for the contributions of women in computing.
Additional conference details may be found at:
