We hope that this scholarship will increase opportunities for students with disabilities and encourage them to pursue careers in computer science. The retreat fosters relationships so that scholars can form a supportive network lasting the full length of their academic studies and beyond."</span><div><span class="byline-author"><br /></span></div><div><span class="byline-author">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. We hope that this scholarship works towards that end.</span><div><span class="byline-author"><br /></span></div><div><span class="byline-author">The deadline to apply is March 15th 2010.
