From Mlive:

FLINT, Michigan — University of Michigan-Flint student Miyako Jones is among 18 students in the country and two from Michigan to receive a $10,000 academic scholarship through Google and the United Negro College Fund.

As a Google-United Negro College Fund scholar, Jones will also receive an all-expenses paid trip to the Google Headquarters in California in 2010.

The annual Google-UNCF scholarship is awarded to a group of African-American students pursuing undergraduate and graduate degrees in computer science or computer engineering with a minimum 3.5 GPA.

The program offers “last dollar” scholarships based on unmet financial need for students majoring in computer science or computer engineering.

On the trip to the Googleplex, Jones will have the opportunity to meet other scholars and attend technical talks and professional development workshops while exploring the San Francisco Bay area.

Miyako is also an active participant in our Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program. Congratulations on this accomplishment Miyako!
