Google PhD Fellowships directly support graduate students as they pursue their PhD, as well as connect them to a Google Research Mentor.

This program allows universities to nominate up to four graduate students from Computer Science or related fields. Interested University of Iowa graduate students must contact Associate Dean of the UI Graduate College Shelly Campo  shelly-campo@uiowa.edu    no later than September 14, 2020, and provide a one-to-two page abstract and biosketch. The Graduate college will determine the four proposals to be submitted to Google.Inc. These proposals are due September 30, 2020.

Google PhD Fellowship students are a select group recognized by Google researchers and their institutions as some of the most promising young academics in the world.
