The Google Lime Scholarship for Students with Disabilities
$10,000 USD or $5,000 CAD
Access to knowledge is our thing. When it comes to higher education for promising scholars, we don’t want anything to stand in the way. That’s why Google is proud to support the work of Lime Connect. 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.
Recipients of the Google Lime Scholarship will each receive a scholarship for the 2012-2013 academic year. Selected students will also be invited to attend the annual Google Scholars’ Retreat at the Googleplex in Mountain View, California, in 2012. Scholarships will be awarded based on the strength of candidates’ academic background and demonstrated passion for computer science – $10,000USD for those studying in the US and $5,000CAD for those studying in Canada (based on tuition costs).

The Google Lime Scholarship is designed for undergraduate and graduate students with disabilities who are pursuing degrees in computer science, computer engineering or a closely related technical field at a university in the US or Canada (international students in the US or Canada are also eligible). And, one in ten students on campus today has a disability, with 90% of those being invisible – candidates with all disabilities are encouraged to apply.
