[Australia][New Zealand] The 2009 Anita Borg Scholarship in Technology for Women
As part of Google’s ongoing commitment to furthering Anita’s vision, we are pleased to announce the 2009 Google Australia and New Zealand Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship. 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 demonstrated leadership. A group of female undergraduate and graduate student finalists will be chosen from the applicant pool. Each scholar recipient will receive a $5,000 scholarship towards the 2010 academic year. In addition all finalists and scholarship recipients will be invited to an expenses-paid networking retreat to be held at Google’s Sydney Engineering centre in September.
Who can apply?
Applicants must satisfy all of the following criteria to be eligible:
- Be a female student at an Australian or New Zealand university who has completed one or more years of a Bachelors degree with at least one year of study remaining, whether as part of a Bachelors or postgraduate degree.
- Be enrolled in full-time undergraduate or postgraduate study at an university or equivalent tertiary institution (please see FAQ for details) in Australia or New Zealand in 2010.
- Be studying Computer Science, Software Engineering, Informatics, or a closely related technical field.
- Maintain an excellent academic record (e.g. distinction average plus).
Citizens, permanent residents, and international students are eligible to apply. Past applicants and finalists are also encouraged to re-apply. If you have any questions, please email anitaborgscholars.au@google.com
Official announcement can be obtained at:
http://www.google.com.au/anitaborg/
How to apply
Please complete the online application at:
http://google.eresources.com/applications/login.asp
and submit all required documents online by June 1st, 2009. First-time users will be required to register and create an account.
You will be asked to submit:
- your contact information, education and work history,
- answers to three short essay questions,
- a copy of your transcripts (Bachelor’s, Master’s and PhD, if applicable),
- your resume – with leadership, work, education, and technical accomplishments included,
- 2 letters of recommendation.
Scholarship finalists and recipients will be notified in late August 2009.
How do I apply?
Students will have access an online application starting on Wednesday, April 1, 2009. Please submit your completed application and all supporting documents no later than Friday, June 5, 2009. You may access your application as many times as you would like to make edits, save drafts, and finally submit. The online application tool will let you know what supplemental documents are needed. Once submitted, your application cannot be modified.
Is it mandatory that I fill out the online application form?
Yes. Your application will not be complete until you submit the completed online form. This information will be our main resource for providing updates on your application status.
Can international students apply for the scholarship?
Yes. If you are currently studying at an Australian or New Zealand University and meet our criteria for scholarship eligibility, you can apply regardless of your citizenship.
Do I need to send an official copy of transcripts?
If you cannot obtain an official transcript from your school before the deadline, you can send an unofficial transcript. However, we will require all finalists to provide an official transcript in due course.
What characterises an official copy of transcripts?
Official transcripts are documents that are authorised and issued by your university and demonstrate your academic performance. The official transcript should include an account of your grades and an explanation of the grading scale at your university.
Do I need to submit the recommendation letters with my online application?
The Google Scholarships team accepts reference letters through our online scholarship application, only. You will be asked for the relevant information when you complete the online application. Please include the name and contact information for each of your references when you complete the online application. Each contact you enter will receive an email from Google, with instructions on to submit their letter electronically. Please do not send us letters.
Can I send my application packet by regular mail?
Unfortunately not. All supporting documents must be submitted in electronic format through the online application form.
How will I know if my application has been received?
We will send you an email notification within ten days of the submission deadline.
Can men apply?
No. This scholarship is dedicated to supporting women in technology. We hope to expand our scholarship program in the future.
How do I apply for an internship?
Scholarship applications are entirely independent of career opportunities at Google. If you are interested in internship or full time graduate positions at Google, please apply separately on other pages of this website.
I’m undertaking my bachelors/postgraduate degree at a polytechnic or institute of technology. Although it is not called an university, am I still eligible to apply?
If your polytechnic or institute of technology awards an university equivalent three year bachelors or postgraduate degree, you can certainly apply if you meet the other eligibility criteria.
Other questions
If you didn’t find the answer you need on the Scholarship page or in these FAQs, please email anitaborgscholars.au@google.com. The subject line of the email must include “Anita Borg Question”.
