gender equality in the tech industry by encouraging women to excel as active
participants and leaders in the field.
Women
Techmakers (WTM) is excited to announce two new scholarships. Firstly, through
our partnership with Stadia, Google’s all new gaming platform, we’re expanding
our Scholars Program to support students pursuing gaming degrees in addition to
those pursuing computer science degrees. Secondly, through the WTM Irish
University scholarship, we’re introducing a multi year scholarship for students
pursuing their undergraduate degree in Ireland.
Women
Techmakers Scholars for Computer Science and Gaming will each receive a 7,000
EUR award (or local equivalent) for the 2020-2021 academic year. Women
Techmakers Irish Scholars will each receive 5,000 EUR on an annual basis for
the duration of their undergraduate studies.
Scholarships
will be awarded based on the strength of each candidate’s impact on diversity,
demonstrated leadership, and academic background. The program is open to
students who meet all the minimum qualifications and we strongly encourage
women to apply. All scholarship recipients will be invited to the Google
Scholars Retreat in the summer of 2020 to connect with fellow scholars, network
with Googlers, and participate in a number of development workshops.
