The Google Europe Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship 2007

For the outstanding female engineers-in-the-making out there, here is a snippet from the website for the Google Europe Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship 2007:

Through the scholarship, we aim to encourage women to excel in computing and technology, and become active role models and leaders.

Scholarships will be awarded based on the strength of candidates’ academic background and engagement within the technology community. A group of female BSc, MSc, and PhD student finalists will be chosen from the applicant pool. The scholarship recipients, selected from the finalists, will each receive a €5,000 (or equivalent) scholarship for the 2007/2008 academic year.

In May 2007, all finalists will be invited to visit Google’s European Engineering centre in Zurich for a networking retreat. It will include workshops with a series of speakers, breakout sessions and social activities, and will provide an opportunity for all finalists to meet and share their experiences.

Application form opens next Sunday, 1st of October. More details here.
