Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do I apply? There are two steps to complete your application. First, fill out the online form. Second, mail your transcripts and recommendation letters to the address provided. 2. Do I need to send an official copy of transcripts? If you cannot obtain an official transcript from your school before the postmark deadline, you can send an unofficial transcript. However, we will require all finalists to provide an official transcript. 3. Do I need to mail the recommendation letters with the rest of my application? No. The recommendation letters can be mailed separately but must be postmarked by the deadline. 4. I am graduating soon, and I will be entering a new program/school in 2008-2009. Do I need to provide any additional documentation? Yes. Please mail us a verification letter from the university to show that you will be enrolled in the new program/school in the 2008-2009 academic year. 5. Can international students apply for the scholarship? Yes. If you are currently studying in the United States and meet our criteria for scholarship eligibility, you can apply regardless of your citizenship. 6. I do not have a Computer Science or Computer Engineering major. Can I apply? The Anita Borg Scholarship is dedicated to supporting students who are studying Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or closely related technical field majors. 7. I applied to the scholarship last year (or a previous year) but was not chosen as a finalist. Can I apply again? Yes, you can apply again. 8. I was selected as a finalist/Anita Borg Scholar last year (or a previous year). Can I apply again? If you were previously selected as an Anita Borg Scholar, you cannot apply again. If you were a finalist (not a Scholar), you can apply again but you can only win as a finalist a maximum of two times. 9. Can men apply? No. This scholarship is dedicated to supporting women in technology. We hope to expand our scholarship program in the future. 10. How will I know if my application has been received? We will send you an email notification within ten days of the submission deadline. 11. How do I apply for an internship? The online application form includes a check box if you are interested in internship opportunities. If you check this box, a Google representative will contact you via email separate from the scholarship to follow up. 12. If I am selected, how will the funds be distributed to me? Google will distribute the scholarship funds to you through the Financial Aid Office of your university, for you to use for tuition, fees, books, and supplies. We have found that this process also enables students to receive the funds without being taxed. 13.
