The Google Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship: Europe, the Middle East and Africa

“Her capacity to mix technical expertise and a relentless vision inspired, motivated and moved women to embrace technology instead of avoiding or ignoring it.”s

Dr. Anita Borg (1949–2003)

Anita Borg believed that technology affects all aspects of our economic, political, social and personal lives. A technology rebel with a cause, in her life she fought tirelessly to ensure that technology’s impact would be a positive one. It was this vision that inspired Anita in 1997 to found the Institute for Women and Technology. Today this organization continues on her legacy and bears her name, The Anita Borg Institute for Women and Technology (www.anitaborg.org).

Dr. Anita Borg

The Scholarship

Dr. Anita Borg devoted her adult life to revolutionising the way we think about technology and dismantling barriers that keep women and minorities from entering computing and technology fields. Her combination of technical expertise and fearless vision continues to inspire and motivate countless women to become active participants and leaders in creating technology.

As part of Google’s ongoing commitment to furthering Anita’s vision, we are pleased to announce The Google Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship: Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Through the scholarship, we aim to encourage women to excel in computing and technology, and become active role models and leaders.

Multiple scholarships will be awarded based on the strength of candidates’ academic performance, leadership experience and demonstrated passion for computer science. A group of female Bachelor’s, Master’s, and PhD student finalists will be chosen from the applicant pool. The scholarship recipients will each receive a €7,000 (or equivalent) scholarship.

In June 2011, all scholarship recipients and finalists will be invited to visit Google’s Engineering Centre in Zurich for a networking retreat.

Postgraduate Studies with Higher National Diploma (HND)

As an HND Diplomate you should be aware that there are opportunities for postgraduate study available to you. Many people believe that you need a higher qualification, like an honours degree, to join a postgraduate course. However, there are certain courses where your practical experience is highly valued, especially in areas like teaching and social work.

The PgCert and PgDip might be offered as specific, stand-alone Certificates and Diplomas, e.g. Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE). More often however, they are linked to a Masters degree and awarded to students who have completed either one third or two thirds of a full-time postgraduate programme.

Some of the reasons that HND Diplomates consider postgraduate study include:

• a particular postgraduate qualification is required for their chosen career;
• a desire to demonstrate a high level of academic achievement;
• to gain an advantage in the job market.
