Students will have access an online application starting on 30 April. Please submit your completed application and all supporting documents no later than 1 July.

Once submitted, your application cannot be modified.

Yes. If you are currently studying at an Australian or New Zealand University and meet our criteria for scholarship eligibility, you can apply regardless of your citizenship.
If you cannot obtain an official transcript from your school before the deadline, you can send an unofficial transcript. However, we will require all finalists to provide an official transcript in due course.
Official transcripts are documents that are authorised and issued by your university and demonstrate your academic performance. The official transcript should include an account of your grades and an explanation of the grading scale at your university.
The Google Scholarships team accepts reference letters through our online scholarship application, only. You will be asked for the relevant information when you complete the online application. Please include the name and contact information for each of your references when you complete the online application. Each contact you enter will receive an email from Google, with instructions on to submit their letter electronically. Please do not send us letters.

We will send you an email notification within ten days of the submission deadline.
No. This scholarship is dedicated to supporting women in technology. We hope to expand our scholarship program in the future.
Scholarship applications are entirely independent of career opportunities at Google. If you are interested in internship or full time graduate positions at Google, please apply separately on other pages of this website.
If your polytechnic or institute of technology awards an university equivalent three year bachelors or postgraduate degree, you can certainly apply if you meet the other eligibility criteria.
If you didn’t find the answer you need on the Scholarship page or in these FAQs, please email anitaborgscholars.au@google.com. The subject line of the email must include “Anita Borg Question”.
