Students looking to apply for the Google Summer of Code 2020 can do so from 16 March to 31 March. To be eligible for Google Summer of Code you must be a student and 18+ years of age. Accepted students are paid a stipend for their summer coding activity between $3000 and $6600 USD based upon your country's purchasing power parity.

Students wanting to learn more can do so via the Google Open-Source Blog.
