The Generation Google Scholarship supports students wanting to study computer science and do well in tech. If you’re chosen, you’ll get $10,000 if you’re learning in the US or $5,000 if you’re studying in Canada for the 2023-2024 school year. The Generation Google Scholarship will be given to students who show strong dedication to diversity, fairness, and including everyone, along with leadership skills and good grades.
However, it’s open to students who meet all the requirements, and we want students from groups that haven’t had many chances in the tech industry, such as women, Black/African American, Hispanic/Latinx, American Indian, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander students, to apply.
