Google 2004 Anita Borg Scholarships 

(Via Sree) Google has announced the 2004 Anita Borg Scholarships for female students in computer science. This is really neat of Google and hopefully it will provide encouragement and incentive for that rarest of rare breeds -- female techies. If you know of anyone doing CS, let them know. Though the webite is not clear about the eligibility criteria for foreign students, it might worth clarifying with Google.

Google is pleased to announce two $10,000 scholarships for female students in the computer sciences during the 2004-2005 academic year. One will be awarded to an undergraduate student and one to a graduate (master’s level) degree candidate. Selection will be based on the strength of academic background, responses to short essay questions, letters of recommendation and financial need? Complete applications must be received by Friday, January 30, 2004. Finalists will be notified by March 1, 2004 and recipients will be announced on Monday, March 22, 2004.

PS: The Google website also a short bio of Anita Borg for those who are wondering.
