*****Deadline extended to 1st March*******


Dr. Anita Borg (1949 - 2003) 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 Europe Anita Borg Memorial
Scholarship 2008. Through the scholarship, we aim to encourage women
to excel in computing and technology, and become active role models
