The Google Women Techmakers Scholars Program supports women and other students from groups under-represented in technology who are pursuing degrees in computer science and related fields. It grew out of the Google Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship, first awarded in 2004, and has since been carried forward through Google's student scholarship offerings, including the Generation Google Scholarship. The programme provides a financial award — historically around ~$10,000 in the United States and about ~€7,000 in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (est.) — toward tuition and study costs, along with access to a community and, in some years, a retreat. It is aimed at undergraduate and graduate students with strong academic records and a commitment to diversity in computing. Because Google's student scholarships have changed name and structure over the years, there is no single fixed deadline; applications open in annual cycles. Treat the figures here as estimates and confirm the current scholarship, regions, amounts, and deadlines on Google's official scholarships page.
