Generation Google Scholarship

In partnership with CSSI, we offer one-time academic scholarships to a number of selected CSSI applicants. These students will receive 10,000 USD (for those studying in the US) or 5,000 CAD (for those studying in Canada) for the 2019-2020 school year. In order to be considered for this scholarship, you must opt in when filling out the CSSI application.

To be eligible to apply, applicants must:

Be a current high school senior Intend to be enrolled as a full-time student in a 4-year BA/BS program in the US (excluding territories) or Canada in Fall 2019 Intend to be enrolled at a university in a computer science, computer engineering, software engineering or related area department for the 2019-2020 academic year Be able to demonstrate an interest in and motivation for studying computer science.

Application process

You will be asked to complete the CSSI online application which includes:

An updated resume (PDF required) A current unofficial or official high school transcript (PDF required) Responses to multiple short answer questions. Each response should be under 200 words (PDF required).

Selection process

Scholarship selection decisions will be communicated in June. Acceptance into CSSI does not automatically grant you a scholarship as there is a different selection process for scholarship recipients and you’ll be notified if you have been granted the scholarship separately from the CSSI decision. It is possible to receive the scholarship but not get into the CSSI program and vice versa or you could even get both!! Please note, that you will find out if you received the scholarship at a different time than CSSI. The timeline for scholarship notifications will be June.

Recipients will be selected based on the overall strength of their essays and application materials compared to the entire applicant pool.
