Opportunities

Google Lime Scholarship

Access to knowledge is Google’s thing. When it comes to higher
education for promising scholars, they don’t want anything to stand in
the way. That’s why they’re proud to partner with Lime, and we’re
both excited to share the news of this outstanding opportunity.
Google is committed to helping the innovators of the future make the
most of their talents by providing both scholarships and networking
retreats for computer science students with disabilities. US
university recipients of the Google Lime Scholarship will receive a
scholarship of $10,000 for the 2009–2010 academic year, and selected
students will also be invited to attend the all-expenses-paid retreat
at the Googleplex in Mountain View, CA, in 2010. Scholarships will be
awarded based on the strength of candidates’ academic background and
demonstrated passion.

Eligibility Requirements

Candidates must be:
• A student entering their junior or senior year of
undergraduate study or be enrolled in a graduate program in the
2009–2010 academic year at a university in the United States or Canada
(in addition to US and Canada citizens, international students with
disabilities studying at universities in the US or Canada are also
encouraged to apply)
• Enrolled in a Computer Science or Computer Engineering
program, or a closely related technical field as a full-time student
for the 2009–2010 academic year
• A person with a disability (defined as someone who has,
or considers themselves to have, a long-term, or recurring, issue that
impacts one or more activities that others may consider a daily
function); this definition also includes the perception among others
that a disability exists. We know that many disabilities are
“invisible,” and candidates do not have to be registered with
disability services on campus to apply

For more information, and to apply, go to www.limeconnect.com, and
don’t delay - applications must be received by June 1, 2009.
