Additional Information:Students must be nominated by a doctoral faculty member. The nominator provides the supporting documentation (resume, list of publications, thesis topic, etc.), categorizes the student's initial career interests, and submits the nomination for evaluation.All IBM PhD Fellowship awardees are matched with an IBM mentor according to their technical interests and are encouraged to participate in an internship at least once while completing their studies. Students receiving a comparable fellowship or internship from another company or institution during the same academic period may not be eligible for an IBM PhD Fellowship.
Students should have three years remaining in their graduate program at the time of nomination. For example, nominees that are enrolled in afour-year graduate program should have completed two years of their graduate program as of summer 2021 in order to benefit the most.We have received many outstanding and exceptional candidates from universities all over the world in the past and encourage universities to submit nominations until October 23, 2020. The IBM PhD Fellowship program also supports our long-standing commitment to workforce diversity and encourages nominations of women, minorities and all who contribute to that diversity. The program seeks to increase the number of under-represented minority students in the referenced science topics of interest by encouraging a diverse applicant pool. We look forward to receiving your nominations. For additional program details and FAQs, please visit www.ibm.com/university/phdfellowship.
