by Lesley Katzen on behalf of the GTAC Diversity Committee
We are committed to increasing diversity at GTAC, and we believe the best way to
do that is by making sure we have a diverse set of applicants to speak and
attend. As part of that commitment, we are excited to announce that we will be
offering travel scholarships again this year.
Travel scholarships will be available for selected applicants from traditionally
underrepresented groups in technology.
To be eligible for a grant to attend GTAC, applicants must:
Be 18 years of age or older.
Be from a traditionally underrepresented group in technology.
Work or study in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information
Technology, or a technical field related to software testing.
Be able to attend core dates of GTAC, November 14th - 15th 2017 in London,
England.
To apply:
You must fill out the following scholarship form
and register for GTAC to be
considered for a travel scholarship.
The deadline for submission is July 1st. Scholarship recipients will be
announced on August 15th. If you are selected, we will contact you with
information on how to proceed with booking travel.
What the scholarship covers:
Google will pay for round-trip standard coach class airfare to London for
selected scholarship recipients, and 3 nights of accommodations in a hotel near
the Google King's Cross campus. Breakfast and lunch will be provided for GTAC
attendees and speakers on both days of the conference. We will also provide a
£75.00 gift card for other incidentals such as airport transportation or meals.
You will need to provide your own credit card to cover any hotel incidentals.
Google is dedicated to providing a harassment-free and inclusive conference
experience for everyone. Our anti-harassment policy can be found at:

Great!!!
ReplyDeleteI love this! I've found the test engineer community is sometimes more diverse, but there's so much work to be done. Glad to see the Google Testing team prioritizing this important issue :)
