NVIDIA has opened applications for its 2027–2028 Graduate Fellowship Program, which supports doctoral students whose research aligns with NVIDIA technologies. Eligible fields include artificial intelligence, machine learning, autonomous vehicles, computer graphics, robotics, healthcare, and high-performance computing.

Awards are up to $60,000 per student. According to NVIDIA, the program has awarded more than 220 grants worth about $8 million since it began in 2002. This is the 26th year of the program.

Applicants must have completed at least their first year of PhD-level studies by the time of application. The deadline is October 30, 2026. Recipients are also required to complete an in-person internship at an NVIDIA research office in summer 2027, before the fellowship year begins.
