60+ young women recognized as Google Anita Borg Memorial scholars
May 11, 2011
The
Google Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship
honors the memory of
Dr. Anita Borg
, who devoted her life to encouraging the presence of women in computing and founded the Institute for Women in Technology in 1997. Anita passed away in 2003, and we created the Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship in 2004 to honor her memory. Anita’s legacy lives on today through this scholarship and the organization she created, which has since been re-named the
Anita Borg Institute for Women in Technology
.
This year we’d like to recognize and congratulate the 65 Google Anita Borg Memorial scholars and the 82 Google Anita Borg Memorial finalists, all of whom attend universities in the
United States
,
Canada
,
Europe, the Middle East or Africa
. These students will attend the annual Google Scholars Retreat this summer, where they will have the opportunity to attend tech talks on Google products, network with other scholars and participate in social activities. Students from the U.S. and Canada will attend the retreat in Mountain View, Calif., and students from Europe, the Middle East and Africa will attend the retreat in Zurich, Switzerland.
We’d also like to congratulate this year’s recipients of the
Google Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship for First Years
. This scholarship is granted to young women in their senior year of high school who intend to study computer science, computer engineering, software engineering or a related program at a university in the upcoming academic year.
Here’s a full
list
(PDF) of this year’s scholars and finalists along with the institutions they attend. In the coming months, we’ll also be announcing the recipients of the Google Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship in
Asia
,
Australia and New Zealand
.
