The Lipman Family Prize is targeted toward organizations addressing globally relevant issues that are usually addressed by the Nonprofit/NGO/Civil Society sector.

No direct lobbying expenses to influence legislation or elections (e.g. 501(c)4); programs with religious content; or programs that discriminate on the basis of race, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, age or disability.

*The budget size eligibility criterion has been updated for the 2024 Prize. Please see the FAQ page for additional information.

BENEFIT:

The grand prize winning organization receives a $250,000 unrestricted cash award, and the two additional winning organizations each receive a $150,000 unrestricted cash award.

In addition, all three winners receive the same non-monetary benefits including:

An ongoing partnership with the University dedicated to knowledge sharing and support of the organization, including opportunities for resources and relationships to help scale the work or improve organizational sustainability.

Promotion of their work and accomplishments to a large audience, and network development within the Lipman Prize community of winners, and the broader Penn network.

GOOGLE CONFERENCE SCHOLARSHIPS

Leave a comment

LOCATION: Multiple Regions

At Google, they believe a diversity of attributes, experiences, and perspectives are needed to build tools that can change the world. They also believe that everyone deserves an opportunity to pursue connections in the industry, networking with peers, and a career path in technology. To help break down the barriers that prevent underrepresented groups in technology and business from attending leading conferences, they’re excited to offer Google Conference Scholarships for selected conferences in the tech industry and related fields.

ELIGIBILITY:

To be eligible for a scholarship to attend an international conference, applicants must:

Be a full-time student enrolled with a recognized university in Africa who is in need of conference travel funds.

Have a paper accepted at a top-tier computer science conference. We prefer to support conferences in research areas where Google has a strong interest. Please visit research.google.com for a list of areas.

Be the sole or joint first author of the accepted paper.

Google employees are not eligible to apply for Google scholarships. Persons who are (1) residents of embargoed countries, (2) ordinarily resident in embargoed countries, or (3) otherwise prohibited by applicable export controls and sanctions programs may not apply for this scholarship.

Please submit this form by the deadline for the conference that you wish to attend. **Given the shift to virtual mode for conferences, we are currently accepting applications to cover conference fees.

They review applications on a rolling basis, all year round, therefore eligible applicants will get our reply around four weeks of applying. Please apply for the grant well in advance of the Conference start date, as the payment completion timeline can be between 5-8 weeks. Once approved for a travel grant, the funds will be paid to the applicant’s university and the student may claim expenses using regular university procedures.

BENEFIT:

In order to support the next generation of researchers, we’d like to support outstanding research students to join international conferences for presenting their research work. The cap is 3000 USD towards travel and lodging cost. The scholarship amount depends on the cost of the international conference.

Google will communicate the travel dates for your specific conference in the acceptance email. You must be available to travel on the dates specified in the email.
