## About

Annual program funding students to contribute to open-source projects

## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria. A community report in January 2026 added evidence of the program being inaccessible from Syrian connections. No outreach to the company has been made yet, and there is no further progress to report.

## Community reports

- 2026-01-22 — Evidence Added. (evidence: https://api.unblocksyria.com/files/evidence/ko0hql4xf2z4fwamisnhpiqx/zi13lktlcmvq7dit0lc0cxpw-momwku780mfolhkvcy41rrr9-block-gsoc-syria.png)

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
