Award information
The university is limited to four nominations each year for the Google PhD Fellowship. Applicants must apply by the internal deadline to be considered as a university nominee.
Google PhD Fellowships directly support graduate students as they pursue their PhD, as well as connect them to a Google Research Mentor. The Google PhD Fellowship Program was created to recognize outstanding graduate students doing exceptional work in computer science and related research areas.
In the United States, Canada, and Europe, accredited PhD granting institutions in Computer Science or related fields may nominate up to four eligible students during the application period. The fellowship offers:
- Up to 2 years of funding
- Full tuition and fees (enrollment fees, health insurance, books) plus a stipend to be used for living expenses, travel and personal equipment
- Google Research Mentor
The university will nominate students that meet the following requirements:
- Full-time graduate students pursuing a PhD and enrolled in an institution in the U.S.
- Completed graduate coursework by the academic award year when the Fellowship begins.
- Students must remain enrolled full-time in the PhD program for the duration of the Fellowship or forfeit the award.
- Google employees, and their spouses, children, and members of their household are not eligible.
- Students that are already supported by a comparable industry award are not eligible. Government or non-profit organization funding is exempt.

- Computer Architecture
