Are you a current senior in high school interested in studying computer science at university?
We
are now accepting applications for the 2015 Generation Google
Scholarship for First Years and Computer Science Summer Institute.
What’s the difference?:
Computer
Science Summer Institute (CSSI) is a three-week introduction to
computer science for graduating high school seniors with a passion for
technology—especially students from historically underrepresented groups
in the field.
The Generation Google Scholarship for high school
seniors helps aspiring computer scientists excel in technology and
become leaders in the field. Selected students will receive 10,000 USD
(for those studying in the US) or 5,000 CAD (for those studying in
Canada) for the 2015-2016 school year. as part of the scholarship,
current high school seniors who are entering their first year of
university in 2015-2016 will be required to attend CSSI in the summer of
2015.
Where?: This year, we will offer two types of sessions at
CSSI: day-camp and residential. Our day camps will take place in
Chicago, IL, Mountain View, CA, and New York City, NY. Our residential
camps will take place in Cambridge, MA and Seattle, WA. To learn more,
please visit our website.
When?:
The Cambridge, Mountain View and Seattle sessions will be held July
13th – July 31st 2015, and Chicago and New York will be held July 20th –
August 7th 2015.
Why?: Google is committed to increasing the
enrollment and retention of students in the field of computer science.
These programs offer both an intensive, interactive, hands-on and fun
experience as well as a financial opportunity that seeks to inspire the
tech leaders and innovators of tomorrow. Students will learn programming
fundamentals directly from Google engineers, get an inside look at some
of Google’s most exciting, emerging technologies, and even design and
develop your very own application with fellow participants that you will
showcase to Googlers in local offices. It aims to expose these students
to key programming concepts, create a network of like-minded
individuals for them (at a formidable time in their young careers) as
well as empower them to tackle the challenging problems in CS by
creating a safe, comfortable environment to learn, play, break and
build.
Who?: We are looking for students eager to spend a few
weeks immersed in the Google life – tackling interesting technical
problems, working collaboratively and having fun. We want students to
leave empowered, heading into their first year of college armed with a
unique learning experience that can only be found at Google. The program
is open to all qualified high school seniors, and is committed to
addressing diversity in the field of computer science. Students who are a
member of a group that is historically underrepresented in the
technology industry are encouraged to apply.
How to apply: Please
visit (www.google.com/students/cssi or GG page) for more information
and to apply. The application deadline is March 5th, 2015. Final
decisions will be announced in early May at the latest.
