Our efforts were focused in four key areas:<br /><br /><b>Starting in high school </b><br />STEM education at an elementary and high school level builds technical skills early and encourages interest in technology. To support the ongoing education of these subjects, we identified more than 600 high schools with significant populations of students from under-represented and economically disadvantaged backgrounds and are providing laptops to their computer science and math departments. We are also offering laptops to some of the most promising students in these schools. In a time when many of these schools are experiencing decreased funding, we wanted to support their continued commitment to learning and teaching these subjects, and recognize the exceptional work done by teachers in these communities. If you're interested in learning more about our efforts in this field, check out <a href="http://code.google.com/edu/">Google Code University</a> (CS tutorials for students and teachers) as well as our <a href="//www.google.com/educators/activities.html">tools, tips and lesson plans</a> for K-12 educators.<br /><br /><b>Growing promising talent</b><br />We've worked with over 200 outstanding students as part of our <a href="//www.google.com/jobs/fuse/">FUSE</a>, <a href="//www.google.com/intl/en/jobs/cssi/index.html">CSSI</a>, <a href="//www.google.com/intl/en/jobs/bold/">BOLD</a> and <a href="//www.google.com/jobs/boldpracticum/">BOLD Practicum</a> summer programs. To help the alumni of our 2009 summer programs pursue their studies, we awarded former program participants with school-based scholarships. We hope that this support for tuition will lessen the financial burden on these students and their families, reduce work-study commitments and free them up to explore other educational opportunities, like studying abroad.<br /><br /><b>Advancing technical knowledge through universities </b><br />We have close relationships with universities around the world — not only do we employ their alumni, but they are also a source of groundbreaking research and innovation. We awarded grants ranging in size from $20k to $100k to 50 U.S.-based universities with whom we already have relationships and directed these funds toward departments that are closely aligned with promoting under-represented minorities in technology. We hope to expand this effort both to more U.S.-based universities and to universities around the world in the future.<br /><br /><b>Partnerships with the organizations that make it happen</b><br />Our commitment to promote women and under-represented minorities in technology is shared by dozens of local and national organizations around the country. We awarded grants to 22 partner organizations, almost all of which we have worked with in the past. These organizations are on the front lines, making sure that under-represented groups have the support, resources and contacts they need. You'll find a list of these organizations with a quick overview of the work they focus on <a href="//www.google.com/jobs/students/us/googlegives/">here</a>.<br /><br />This was a terrific way to close out 2009 and we look forward to attracting and encouraging more students from traditionally under-represented backgrounds to pursue studies and careers in science, technology, engineering and math.

Multiple scholarships will be awarded based on the strength of candidates’ academic performance and demonstrated passion for computer science.<br /><br />Scholarships will be granted for the 2010/2011 academic year, and recipients will be invited to attend an all-expenses-paid retreat at Google’s Engineering Center in Zurich in 2010.<br /><br />Here's what Nelson Mattos, our VP for Product & Engineering in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, has to say about this scholarship: "We're committed to diversifying the long-term engineering talent pool for the industry as a whole.

The retreat fosters relationships so that scholars can form a supportive network lasting the full length of their academic studies and beyond."<br /><br />We know that a diverse group of people use our tools and services and only an equally diverse workforce can anticipate our users' needs. We've found that the diversity of perspectives, ideas and cultures leads to the creation of better products to the benefit of all users of the Internet.

Here's a look back at a few of our programs (you can bet we'll be hosting them again!) along with news on some upcoming initiatives.<br /><br />Rising college sophomores participated in two Google programs: Google <a href="//www.google.com/jobs/fuse/">FUSE</a>, in its inaugural year, and the Google <a href="//www.google.com/intl/en/jobs/cssi/index.html">Computer Science Summer Institute</a> (CSSI).<br /><br />For FUSE, we welcomed 50 rising college sophomores to our <a href="//maps.google.com/?q=Google+New+York@40.741962,-74.004624&hl=en">New York City office</a> for a three-day retreat designed to connect students from groups that are under-represented in the field of computer science. The retreat focused on making connections between students and Googlers, encouraging students to create meaningful academic experiences and allowing them to learn more about possible career paths via hands-on activities, panel discussions and a bit of fun around the New York City area.<br /><br />Another group of twenty rising sophomores spent two weeks at the Googleplex in Mountain View for the second annual Computer Science Summer Institute. This special program included an interactive and collaborative Computer Science curriculum, as well as a living-learning residential experience for student networking. Students worked in teams to create an interactive web application using Python in Google App Engine. When not in class, they heard technical talks from Google engineers, spoke with professionals from across the technology industry and academia about the many things they can do with a Computer Science degree. They also had some fun joining the Bay Area summer interns on a boat cruise and catching a baseball game after an exciting San Francisco scavenger hunt.<br /><br />In addition, our engineering internship program hosted more than 450 college (undergraduate and graduate) interns in 15 locations across North America. These interns were an integral part of the engineering team and made significant contributions this summer working on exciting projects including Android, Chrome, <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/09/back-to-school-with-google-docs.html">Docs</a> and machine translation.<br /><br />We also had more than 100 students working across multiple functions, including sales and engineering in Mountain View, New York, Chicago, Ann Arbor, Washington, D.C., San Francisco and Boston as part of the Building Opportunities for Leadership and Development (<a href="//www.google.com/support/jobs/bin/static.py?page=bold.html&src=bold">BOLD</a>) Program. BOLD is a 10-week internship program designed to provide exposure to the technology industry for students from groups that are historically underrepresented in technology. This summer experience includes a unique glimpse into a <a href="//www.google.com/support/jobs/bin/static.py?page=bold.html&src=bold">business</a> or <a href="//www.google.com/support/jobs/bin/static.py?page=boldpracticum.html">engineering</a> career, professional development and leadership courses, as well as one-on-one mentorship designed to further support professional growth.<br /><br />Of course, we realize that growing future leaders in engineering and business doesn't just start with college students. For this reason, we partner with the <a href="http://global.leadprogram.org/">LEAD</a> programs in both <a href="http://business.leadprogram.org/">business</a> and <a href="http://www.leadprogram.org/page/leadengineering.html">engineering</a> to encourage outstanding high school students to pursue careers in these fields. This year, all four LEAD Summer Engineering Institute participants had the opportunity to tour a local Google office to attend technical talks and interact with Google engineers (okay, with some tasty food and video games thrown in as well).<br /><br />As part of Google's ongoing commitment to recognizing student achievements and promoting leadership, we also offer a number of academic scholarships. We are currently accepting applications for the <a href="http://limeconnect.com/google.html">Google Lime Scholarship for Student with Disabilities</a> in the U.S. and Canada, and the Anita Borg Scholarship in <a href="http://www.google.ca/intl/en/anitaborg/">Canada</a>, <a href="//www.google.com/anitaborg-emea/">Europe, the Middle East and Africa</a>, and the <a href="//www.google.com/intl/en/anitaborg/">United States</a>. In case you're curious, we offer a <a href="//www.google.com/jobs/students">host of scholarships</a> for many other international regions.<br /><br />If one or more of these opportunities sounds like something you'd like to participate in, you can find applications for full time opportunities and summer internship opportunities on our <a href="//www.google.com/support/jobs/bin/static.py?page=students.html">student job site</a>.

According to the <a href="http://www.cra.org/CRN/articles/march08/jvegso_enrollments.html">Computing Research Association</a>, CS enrollment in the U.S. was at its peak in 2000, with 15,958 undergrads.

This special institute included an interactive and collaborative CS curriculum, as well as a living-learning residential experience for student networking.
