The organization selection process begins in January, and the resolution of the selected organizations usually appears in mid-February.
When an organization is selected, it has a list of projects for which Google offers to pay the student to complete within three months. It is a process in which you have the help of a mentor, and weekly follow-up meetings are held to be able to corroborate the progress and problems that may arise along the way."
