IBM Ph.D. Fellowship Awards Program 2018/2019

Strong collaboration with faculty, students and universities are vital to IBM. The Ph.D. Fellowship Program advances this collaboration by recognizing and supporting exceptional Ph.D. students who want to make their mark in promising and disruptive technologies. In 2018, the Fellowship Program is focusing on AI, security, blockchain and quantum computing. IBM is well positioned to advance these technologies and exploit their ability to transform industries and societies.

Since the creation of the IBM Ph.D. Fellowship Program in 1951, we have supported thousands of Ph.D. Fellowship students — with more than 700 students supported over the past 10 years alone.

Eligibility

  • Students must be nominated by a doctoral faculty member and must be a full-time student in a Ph.D. program over the two consecutive academic years of the award or forfeit their fellowship.
  • Students must be approximately two years from receiving their degree. Students from U.S. embargoed countries are not eligible for the program.
  • Award recipients will be selected based on their overall potential for research
