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.

UNIL MASTERS EXCELLENCE SCHOLARSHIPS, SWITZERLAND

Leave a comment

Application Opening Date: September 2025; Deadline: 1 November 2025

LOCATION: Switzerland

UNIL awards around ten excellence scholarships each year, exclusively to students who have graduated from a foreign university and whose academic results are of a very high standard.

ELIGIBILITY:

The list of all master’s degrees at UNIL for which it is possible to apply can be found here.

Candidates must have graduated only from a foreign university: their qualification/university degree must be deemed equivalent to a Swiss university bachelor’s degree (180 ECTS credits). If the Masters Scholarship application file is complete, the Admissions Office (SII) will decide if the candidate is formally eligible. If this is the case, the application file will be forwarded to the faculty, which will take a decision on whether the candidate is admitted to the chosen master programme or not.

To have obtained a foreign university degree considered equivalent to a Swiss university bachelor’s before the beginning of the master’s program at UNIL.

To have distinguished yourself during your studies, especially through particularly brilliant academic results.

To have a language level of at least C1 (according to the European Language Portfolio global scale) in French or at least C1 in English according to the language in which your chosen master is taught (to check on the programme’s page).

Not to be registered at UNIL

To have paid the CHF 200.00 Administrative fees (see document, “list of documents for an application”).

The application form for the Master’s Scholarship also serves as an application for admission to the chosen Master’s program (and hence as a matriculation form at UNIL): you therefore do not need to apply for the master’s degree at the Admission Office (SII) of UNIL.

The application for the academic year 2025/2026 is closed. The application for the academic year 2026/2027 will open in September 2025 and the deadline will be 1 November 2025.

There is no age limit to apply for the Master Scholarship. However, for candidates from countries subject to visa restrictions, a higher age as well as a completed first master’s degree may have an influence on the obtention of a visa (difficult or impossible to obtain). They recommend verifying with the Swiss diplomatic representation in your country before applying.

Withdrawal from the master programme will lead to the suspension of the scholarship.

BENEFIT:

The scholarship is granted for the minimum statutory period of the programme chosen by the student. It amounts to CHF 1,600 (for more details, please refer to Article 10 of the “General conditions for the award of a Master’s Excellence Scholarship”).

Students offered a scholarship will be exempt from the fixed registration fees for the courses, with the exception of the CHF 80.00 fees to be paid each semester.
