 What to Prepare for Application

• Resume/CV with leadership, tech, and DEI experience
• Transcripts or academic performance proof
• Letters of recommendation if required
• Short essay responses reflecting how you engage with equity, inclusion, and tech impact
• Where applicable, transcripts showing disability or veteran status (Google Lime, SVA scholarships)

 Why These Scholarships Stand Out

• Recognize diverse talents—women, persons with disabilities, veterans, and underrepresented groups
• Provide financial freedom: tuition assistance, travel stipends, mentorship networks
• Enhance visibility: scholars often engage with leadership programs, Google events, and community-building initiatives
• Offer entry points into technology careers through contest or internship connections
