About NVIDIA’s Fellowship Program

NVIDIA has long believed that investing in university talent is beneficial to the industry and key to our continued growth and success. The NVIDIA Fellowship Program provides funding to Ph.D. students who are researching topics that will lead to major advances in the graphics and digital media industry, and are investigating innovative ways of leveraging the power of the GPU. We select students each year who have the talent, aptitude and initiative to work closely with us early in their careers. 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 gifted minds in the field.

Application materials for NVIDIA Fellowships are available now and must be submitted by February 3, 2009. Fellowship recipients will be notified in March 2009.

Testimonials

“With GPU technology changing so rapidly, it is next to impossible to do cutting edge research without access to the latest hardware as well as insight into where GPUs are going in the future. The NVIDIA fellowship provided me with not just the hardware necessary to succeed, but also provided me the opportunity to talk with NVIDIA architects to ensure that my research will have an impact far beyond the capabilities of today’s GPUs.” – Ian Buck Software Team, Former NVIDIA Fellow

“The NVIDIA fellowship is one of the few graduate fellowships that I know of that is truly egalitarian; the fact that the fellowship is open to graduate students worldwide is a testament to NVIDIA’s commitment to nurturing good research irrespective of where it is taking place.” – Pravin, NVIDIA Fellow 2006 & 2007

“The relationship NVIDIA fosters with university researchers through its fellowship program provides a conduit for ideas and technology to flow between academia and industry. In addition to financial sponsorship, the fellowship affords student researchers a unique opportunity to cultivate a dialogue with the finest engineering minds in the industry. As a recipient of the NVIDIA Fellowship, I am grateful that the financial and intellectual support I receive from NVIDIA ensures my research is useful and relevant to the graphics industry at large.”– Jared Hoberock, Research Team, Former NVIDIA Fellow
