At Google, we believe a diversity of attributes,
experiences, and perspectives are needed to build tools that can change the
world. We also believe that everyone deserves an opportunity to pursue
connections in the industry, networking with peers, and a career path in
technology. To help break down the barriers that prevent underrepresented
groups in technology and business from attending leading conferences, we're excited
to offer Google Conference Scholarships for selected conferences in the tech
industry and related fields.
Scholarship eligibility varies by region, so please review
the information on the region-specific tabs on the top. Scholarships will be
awarded to the most qualified persons based on application review. Every
applicant will be notified of their status according to the time frames
specified for the region.

Requirements for Google Conference Scholarships
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.
- Google
employees are not eligible to apply for Google scholarships. Persons who
are (1) residents of embargoed countries, (2) ordinarily resident in
embargoed countries, or (3) otherwise prohibited by applicable export
controls and sanctions programs may not apply for this scholarship.
Selection Process
We review applications on a rolling basis, all year round,
therefore eligible applicants will get our reply around four weeks of applying.
Please apply for the grant well in advance of the Conference start date, as the
payment completion timeline can be between 5-8 weeks. Once approved for a
travel grant, the funds will be paid to the applicant’s university and the
student may claim expenses using regular university procedures.
