sereneFinally something non-local. I think that several of my LJ friends are US or Canadian university students with disabilities, so maybe someone will have some use for this.
Google Lime Scholarship for Students with Disabilities
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.
As always, please feel free to reach out if you should have any questions.
