The Google RISE program <g.co/riseawards> will be accepting applications
from July 28-Sept. 23 from organizations seeking to increase equity in
computer science education through extracurricular programs for
pre-university students.

Program components include:

   -

   Access to a 12-month capacity building program that connects awardees
   with Google expertise
   -

   Financial support to reward great work ($10,000-$25,000)
   -

   Operational support depending on the needs of the organization, such as
   volunteers or pro bono consulting
   -

   Peer engagement through a community of practice that connects awardees
   and alumni


Additionally, the RISE program analyzes over 1000 applications per year to
understand the global landscape of CS education, and helps scale solutions
by amplifying stories so that other communities around the world can
benefit from the awardees’ successes and lessons learned.

Since 2010, RISE has benefitted 200 organizations across 40 countries and
reached over 1 million students.
