Google believes diversity of attributes, experiences, and perspectives are needed to build tools that can change the world. Everyone deserves an opportunity to pursue connections in the industry, networking with peers, and a career path in technology. To help break down the barriers that prevent underrepresented groups in technology and business from attending leading conferences, it offers Google Conference and Travel Scholarships for selected conferences in the tech industry and related fields.

Moreover, the Japan & South Korea Scholarships are available all year round. Hence, applicants may lodge an application for the travel funds to attend the tech-related conference.

Google Conference Travel Scholarships

Google will provide up to 3,000 USD as Conference Travel Scholarships towards air tickets as well as lodging cost (payable after the conference). Scholarship amount depends on the cost of the international conference.
