Google believes information should be universally accessible. Their 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 to military veterans, Google established the Google SVA Scholarship in partnership with
Student Veterans of America. The scholarship provides assistance to student veterans who are pursuing university degrees in the field of computer science in the U.S. Selected students will receive 10,000 USD for the 2014-2015 school year and will be invited to attend the Google Scholars’ Retreat in the summer of 2014.
To be eligible to apply, applicants must:
- Be currently enrolled as an undergraduate or graduate student at a university
for the 2013-2014 academic year
- Intend to be enrolled in or accepted as a full-time student at a university
in the United States for the 2014-2015 academic year

- Be pursuing a Computer Science or Computer Engineering degree, or a degree in
a closely related technical field
- Exemplify leadership and demonstrate a passion for computer science and

- Have received an honorable discharge, or is in good standing with his/her
