The Google Women Techmakers Scholars Program is for International women in the field of computer science and computer engineering around the globe.
Last year, the program offered 20 scholarships to eligible women around the globe who showed great academic performance in the I.T. field. Formerly called the Google Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship Program.
The award for this program for the eventual winners varies; if you are studying in the U.S., Canada, Europe/Middle East/Africa or Asia you will receive US$10,000, $5,000 CAD or EUR 7000 respectively. Please note that the award for Asian women is not yet available on the website.
Those who eventually receive this scholarship will also be invited for the yearly google student retreat to help them connect with fellow scholars, share ideas, and partake in the different development workshops.
There are different requirements for each region provided, each has separate deadlines just as they have a different award. But one thing they in common is that they will all be part of the google community and have access to the different forums where resources are shared.
