Google Europe Students with Disabilities Scholarship
Google Europe Students with
Disabilities Scholarship
Overview
Google's
education and scholarship programs aim to inspire and help students become
future leaders in computing and technology by breaking down the barriers that
prevent them from entering these fields. As part of our commitment, we’ve
partnered with EmployAbility, a nonprofit organization that
supports students with disabilities while they pursue education and promising
careers, to help university students with disabilities work toward their
academic goals in the field of computer science. Selected students will receive
a 7,000 EUR award (or local equivalent) for the 2022-2023 academic year.

Terms and conditions
The Google
Europe Students with Disabilities Scholarship is open to qualified students who
meet the eligibility criteria. Students with disabilities interested in
computer science are strongly encouraged to apply. The scholarship award must
be spent on tuition, fees, books, supplies and equipment required for the
students' classes at their primary university. Scholarship recipients must be
enrolled as full time students for the 2022-2023 academic year. Enrollment will
be verified after the winners are selected, and all scholarship payments will
be made directly to the student to be used towards tuition and
education-related expenses. We will withhold the award for any scholar who no
longer meets the eligibility requirements and revoke the award for any scholar
who does not maintain the eligibility requirements. Selected recipients will
receive instructions from Google on how to receive the award. Failure to
complete these steps by the specified deadline will disqualify recipients from
receiving the award. Recipients may defer their award for up to one (1) year from
the time of originally planned payment on a case by case basis as determined by
Google. 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.
