Application Deadline: September 13, 2024.
Applications are now open for the 2025/2026 NVIDIA International Graduate Fellowship Program. This is the twenty-fourth year that NVIDIA has invited PhD students to submit their research projects for consideration.

- 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 2025-2026 academic year (9 months) of the award – this means they should not be expecting to graduate sooner than May/June 2026.
