To help break down the barriers that prevent underrepresented groups in technology and business from attending leading conferences, they’re excited to offer Google Conference Scholarships for selected conferences in the tech industry and related fields.
Eligibility Criteria
To be eligible for a scholarship to attend an international conference, applicants must:
- Be a full-time student enrolled with a recognized university in Africa who is in need of conference travel funds.
- Have a paper accepted at a top-tier computer science conference. We prefer to support conferences in research areas where Google has a strong interest. Please visit research.google.com for a list of areas.
- Be the sole or joint first author of the accepted paper.
Offered Benefits
An award in the range of 1,000 – 3,000 USD that will cover conference registration, travel, accommodation, and related expenses. The scholarship amount depends on the cost of the international conference.
Application Process
Please submit the form by the deadline for the conference that you wish to attend. **Given the shift to the virtual mode for conferences, we are currently accepting applications to cover conference fees.
