Google Conference Scholarships for International Students 2024

Tech giant, Google, has announced tech-related scholarship opportunities for international students from underrepresented groups.

At Google, we believe a diversity of attributes, experiences, and perspectives are needed to build tools that can change the world. We also believe that everyone deserves an opportunity to pursue connections in the industry, networking with peers, and a career path in technology. To help break down the barriers that prevent underrepresented groups in technology and business from attending leading conferences, we’re excited to offer Google Conference Scholarships for selected conferences in the tech industry and related fields. Scholarship eligibility varies by region, so please review the information on the region-specific tabs at the top. Scholarships will be awarded to the most qualified persons based on application review. Every applicant will be notified of their status according to the time frames specified for the region.

Founded in 1998, Google is a technology company that specialises in Internet-related services and products including online advertising technologies, a search engine, cloud computing, software and hardware. Google states its mission is to organise the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.

Benefits of the Scholarship

Designed to broaden professional horizons, these scholarships cover conference costs for chosen applicants.

Application Process

We review applications on a rolling basis, all year round, therefore eligible applicants will get our reply around four weeks after applying. Please apply for the grant well in advance of the Conference start date, as the payment completion timeline can be between 5-8 weeks. Once approved for a travel grant, the funds will be paid to the applicant’s university and the student may claim expenses using regular university procedures.
