FULLY FUNDED NVIDIA GRADUATE FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM

Leave a comment

Application Deadline: 3pm Pacific Time, September 15, 2025.

LOCATION: Multiple Regions

NVIDIA particularly invites submissions from students pushing the envelope in artificial intelligence, robotics, autonomous vehicles, and related fields. Recipients not only receive crucial funding for their research, but are able to conduct groundbreaking work with access to NVIDIA products, technology and some of the most talented minds in the field. In addition, the Fellowship includes a mandatory in-person summer internship preceding the Fellowship year.

ELIGIBILITY:

Students must have already completed their first year of PhD-level studies (at the time of application)

Students must have majors in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, System Architecture, Electrical Engineering, or a related area

Students must be engaged in active research as part of their PhD thesis

Students must be enrolled as a full-time active PhD student during the 2026-2027 academic year (9 months) of the award—this means they should not be expecting to graduate sooner than May/June 2027.

Students must be available to complete an in-person summer internship prior to the start of their Fellowship year at one of NVIDIA’s research offices in the United States, Canada, Germany, Sweden, Finland, Switzerland, Israel, and Taiwan.

International students are eligible to apply. Keep in mind, the Graduate Fellowship Award amount may vary by country, region, or location, and while NVIDIA has many international offices, we can only support fellowship internships in the United States, Canada, Germany, Sweden, Finland, Switzerland, Israel, and Taiwan.

Students may not be immediate family of a current NVIDIA employee

Note: The award must be administered through the student’s university; payment will be made to the university, not directly to the student

Research summary/thesis proposal—up to 2 pages, plus bibliography (bibliography does not count toward 2-page maximum for proposal)

Resume/Curriculum Vitae (CV), including contact information

Professor nomination letters (2 letters minimum (must include one from thesis advisor), up to 3 letters maximum — OK to have nomination letters from non-professors, as long as you have one from your thesis advisor/professor).

Confirmation of availability for an in-person summer internship

BENEFIT:

The NVIDIA Graduate Fellowship Program provides funding in the amount of up to $60,000 per award to PhD students who are researching topics that will lead to major advances in accelerated computing and its applications.

INTERNSHIPS AT MAX PLANCK INSTITUTES IN COMPUTER SCIENCE

Leave a comment

Application Deadline: November 1, 2025

LOCATION: Germany

The Max Planck Institutes for Informatics (Saarbruecken), Software Systems (Saarbruecken and Kaiserslautern), and Security and Privacy (Bochum) offer research internships in all areas of Computer Science. Internships are open to exceptional bachelor’s, master’s, and Doctoral students worldwide, as well as exceptional individuals from industry interested in gaining academic research experience in computer science. Intern positions are limited and admissions are very competitive

ELIGIBILITY:

Internships are open to exceptional bachelor’s, master’s, and Doctoral students worldwide with a basic background in Computer Science (roughly, the first three years of a standard Computer Science Bachelors program by the start of the internship) and an interest in CS research. Internship projects are customized to suit the backgrounds of individual interns.

Industry applicants with a similar background and an interest in academic CS research may also apply.

Students looking for Bachelor’s or Master’s thesis projects are also welcome to apply. The internship project can be converted to a thesis if the student’s university allows.

Internships are also an excellent opportunity for pre-doctoral students to explore computer science research prior to embarking on a research career.

We encourage applicants with diverse academic backgrounds and interdisciplinary interests, e.g. intersecting social science, economics, law, humanities, and others.

We particularly welcome applications from individuals belonging to underrepresented groups in CS or other STEM fields.

Our internships are very competitive, and all applicants are expected to have an excellent academic record, regardless of its length.

Please apply by the following deadlines:

For internships starting between May and August, apply by November 1 of the previous year

For internships starting at any other time of the year, apply at least 5 months before your intended starting date

Submit your application. Apply online at https://apply.cis.mpg.de/register/internship. You will need to provide your CV, transcripts, contact information for at least one reference, and an optional motivation letter. You can also optionally indicate faculty members at the participating institutes with whom you would like to work and the period during which you would like to intern. Note that we do not request references immediately and in all cases. Please do not write to us asking why your referee has not received a request for your letter.

Matching process. Research groups at participating institutes will review your application. During this period, you might be contacted for a phone interview.

Notification. You will be notified of the outcome of your application by email. If you are selected, you will also be put in touch with your assigned faculty mentor to finalize the exact dates of your internship and settle on an internship project. 

BENEFIT:

All internships are fully funded, covering living costs, housing and roundtrip travel costs. A typical internship lasts 12 to 14 weeks, but longer internships are possible.
