Previous Anita Borg Scholars and Finalists
The Google Anita Borg Scholarship was first launched in 2004 when a group of Googlers
decided to establish a program that would honor the work of their friend and colleague Dr.
Anita Borg. Since 2004, the program has expanded to include women in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East.
Google is proud to recognize the alumnae of the Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship program. We
celebrate their accomplishments and contributions to the technology field.
