Google has announced the commencement applications for the 2024 Google Conference Scholarships for African students.
The Google Conference Scholarships are offered as a full sponsorship for university students to attend leading conferences in the continent of Africa.
The scholarship aims to help break down the barriers that prevent underrepresented groups in technology and business from attending leading conferences.
Requirements:
To be considered for the Google Conference Scholarships, you must:
Be a full-time student enrolled with a recognized university in Africa who is in need of conference travel funds.
Have a paper accepted at a top-tier computer science conference. We prefer to support conferences in research areas where Google has a strong interest. Please visit research.google.com for a list of areas.
Be the sole or joint first author of the accepted paper.
Scholarship Duration and Reward
The Scholarship will cover the full expenses of travel and other expenses to attend and present a paper at the conference.
Conference registration, one round trip travel to and from the conference site, hotel accommodation for the travel dates as communicated directly with accepted scholars, a $100 USD stipend for miscellaneous travel costs, and Google swag.
Please refrain from making travel and/or hotel arrangements on your own, as this is not a part of the reimbursement package.
