Technology has the power to change the world for the better, but today far too few have access to the education and support they need to become creators, not just consumers. We know that pre-university exposure to Computer Science education is critically important for inspiring kids to pursue a career in computing.
That's why Google offers the RISE Awards -- grants of $15,000 to $50,000 USD -- to organizations across the globe working to promote access to Computer Science education for girls and underrepresented minorities. Our RISE partners are changemakers: they engage, educate, and excite students about computing through extracurricular outreach.
In 2014, 42 organizations from 19 countries including Ghana, Nigeria and Uganda received RISE Awards--with projects ranging from ICT training in underserved communities in Accra to STEM community outreach programs for girls in Uganda. In April, we brought all of our partners together for a Global Summit that sparked resource sharing and collaboration amongst organizations. You can find out more about our 2014 recipients here.
We're looking for more partners in 2015. Submit your application by September 30, 2014 in English, French, Japanese, Russian or Spanish. All eligibility information is listed on our website.
