Google aspires to be an organization that reflects our global
audience by supporting a diversity of perspectives, ideas and
cultures, which is one reason we created scholarship programs with
both the href="http://www.uncf.org/scholarships/scholarDetailSGA.asp?id=84" >United
Negro College Fund and href="http://scholarships.hispanicfund.org/applications/subsectionID.1,pageID.123/default.asp" >
Hispanic College Fund. These programs provide $5,000 to both
undergraduate and graduate students who have demonstrated academic
excellence in the fields of computer science and computer
engineering. They're meant to encourage students to excel in
their studies and become active role models and leaders. It's
our hope that these programs also help dismantle barriers that keep
women and minorities from entering computing and technology fields.

more about the various Google scholarship programs.)

A few other Googlers and I recently volunteered to help select the
winners for this year's round. We were inspired reading the
scholarship applications; in fact, we identified with the
difficulties that these students faced in order to get a great
education.

Now it's time to congratulate the 33 winners. This accomplished
group of men and women demonstrated excellence in the field of
computer science and made significant contributions to their
communities. Each person receive $5,000 towards their studies, and
they're all invited to attend our annual scholarship weekend,
held at our Mountain View headquarters next spring.
