The following sounds like a good opportunity for anyone who is in a computer
related field.
Sincerely,

Google Lime Scholarship for Students with Disabilities
Access to knowledge is Google's thing. When it comes to higher education for
promising scholars, they don't want anything to stand in the way. That's why
they're proud to partner with Lime, and we're both excited to share the news of
this outstanding opportunity. Google is committed to helping the innovators of
the future make the most of their talents by providing both scholarships and
networking retreats for computer science students with disabilities. US
university recipients of the Google Lime Scholarship will receive a scholarship
of $10,000 for the 2009-2010 academic year, and selected students will also be
invited to attend the all-expenses-paid retreat at the Googleplex in Mountain
View, CA, in 2010. Scholarships will be awarded based on the strength of
candidates' academic background and demonstrated passion.
Eligibility Requirements
Candidates must be:
* A student entering their junior or senior year of undergraduate study or
be enrolled in a graduate program in the 2009-2010 academic year at a
university in the United States or Canada (in addition to US and Canada
citizens, international students with disabilities studying at universities in
the US or Canada are also encouraged to apply)
* Enrolled in a Computer Science or Computer Engineering program, or a
closely related technical field as a full-time student for the 2009-2010
academic year
* A person with a disability (defined as someone who has, or considers
themselves to have, a long-term, or recurring, issue that impacts one or more
activities that others may consider a daily function); this definition also
includes the perception among others that a disability exists. We know that
many disabilities are "invisible," and candidates do not have to be registered
with disability services on campus to apply
For more information, and to apply, go to www.limeconnect.com, and don't delay
- applications must be received by June 1, 2009.
