Greetings, * * Google is proud to announce that applications are now open for several of our Diversity Scholarships! We are even more excited to announce that two of our scholarships, *UNCF and AISES*, are now open to students in Canada for the first time!

Because we are promoting these scholarships for the first time in Canada, I am asking for your help in promoting these opportunities to your students. Please pass along the below e-mail to any students or student groups who you think may be interested.

Also, if you have contacts at any diversity offices or organizations that you think might be helpful in promoting opportunities like these, I would love to connect with them. Please feel free to either send me their contact information or give them mine and I'd be happy to reach out.

Thanks!
