United Negro College Fund/ Google Scholarship
Google has paired with UNCF to encourage students to continue their education and
excel in the fields of computing and technology. Through its scholarship, Google
hopes to remove the financial barriers that prevent many African Americans from
pursuing degrees in the fields of computer science and computer engineering. Selected
students will receive a $5,000 scholarship to go towards a graduate degree. They
will also be invited to attend the retreat at Google headquarters in California.
