It looks like this is paying less money total, slightly less per month ($3000 for 2 months instead of $5000 for 3 months), and comes out of money for work that nobody of either gender applied for. Unless I'm missing something, the program only open to women is less money and has a lower chance of existing at all. Of course, women could apply for both, getting a higher chance overall, but none actually did, so that hardly matters. (I'm reading the "$9000 for women" as implying that they have funding for three applications, each earning the $3000 stipend specified.)

Google pays $5000 for 3 months, but only $4500 of it goes to the applicant while the other $500 goes to the relevant open source group. Thus, the pay rate individuals receive in either program is the same.
