Google Anita Borg Scholarship, an award for female computer science
students. We would like to encourage eligible students to apply for
this scholarship opportunity. Could you help us spread the word?
Dr. Anita Borg (1949-2003) devoted her life to revolutionizing the

fields. In honor of Anita's vision, Google is proud to announce the
2009 Google Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship, awarding a group of
female students each a $10,000 scholarship for the 2009-2010 academic
year. All finalists and scholarship recipients will also be invited to
attend a 3-day Scholars' Retreat at the Googleplex in Mountain View,
CA in June 2009.
