I know we have some grad students on the list, so I thought I would pass this information along ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Google funds several scholarships specifically for students from underrepresented groups. If selected, scholarship recipients will each receive a $10,000 USD or $5,000 CAD scholarship for the 2014-2015 academic year and be invited to attend the all-expense paid Annual Google Scholars' Retreat at the Googleplex this summer. Scholarships will be awarded based on the strength of applicants' academic background, leadership, and demonstrated passion for computer science. Please see below for a list of open scholarships.
