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 since 2008. 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 2023 Google Lime Scholarship will each receive a scholarship for the 2023-2024 academic year. Scholars will also be invited to attend a Google Lime Scholars gathering in Fall 2023 and be considered for internship opportunities with Google for the Summer of 2024. Scholarships will be awarded based on the strength of candidates’ academic background and a demonstrated passion for computer science – $10,000 for those studying in the US and $5,000 for those studying in Canada (based on tuition costs).
