We are delighted to announce the W4A Google Student Awards, which will enable two students to attend this year’s W4A in Raleigh, NC, USA.

Thanks to financial support from Google, these Awards will provide financial support towards travel and accommodation, plus free conference registration, to two students conducting postgraduate research in the web accessibility field and who otherwise would be unable to attend W4A.

This award is open to any student in a postgraduate position (part time or full time) at a University or other Higher Education institution, AND who is carrying out research that is directly relevant to the field of web accessibility. We particularly encourage applicants from under-represented parts of the world.

We now invite submissions from interested students - the deadline is Thursday 4th February, midnight Hawaii Standard Time.

Please see the Google Student Awards page for more information including details of the submission procedure.

The AccessComputing Alliance has funding for undergraduate research internships for students with disabilities. The internships are available for US citizens and permanent residents and cover a summer stipend, travel, housing, and sustenance.

If you have a student at your university you would like to work with or you are interested in bringing a student from another university to work with you, both are possible.

If you are interested please contact me as soon as possible. Funding is limited, so please contact me as soon as possible.
