Graduate Fellowship Support

    Intel® Corporation and the Intel Foundation together support three graduate fellowship programs at select universities in the United States. These fellowships are awarded to outstanding students in Engineering, Computer Science and other technical majors focusing on semiconductor technologies, micro-architecture, Software Technology and Design, and communications. Students in these programs are prioritized for receiving internships. The students in the Ph.D. fellowship program are provided with the opportunity to meet their designated Intel Technical Liaison face to face either at a conference or here at Intel.

    • Intel Corporation Ph.D. Fellowship Program The Intel Corporation Ph.D. Fellowship Program awards fellowships to Ph.D. candidates pursuing leading-edge work in fields related to Intel's business and research interests. Select U.S. universities are invited to submit a limited number of students for consideration. Those students selected by their university are then carefully reviewed by the Intel fellows and their designees who choose the winning students. The program encourages applicants from underrepresented minority groups, including women to apply through their university. The fellowship includes a cash award (tuition and stipend), an Intel Technical Liaison and travel funds to meet the liaison either at a conference or here at Intel. These students are also prioritized for internships and hiring within the company. This is a highly competitive program with a limited number of fellowships awarded annually.

      Contact your school's engineering or computer science department to determine if your school is one of the participating schools, or to receive additional information. Applications are not accepted directly from students.

      For the 2009-2010 academic year, the Intel Corporation awarded ~$2 million in fellowships to Ph.D. students. Fellowship recipients are Ph.D. candidates at the following universities: Carnegie Mellon University, Columbia, Cornell, Georgia Institute of Technology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Oregon State, Princeton, Purdue, Stanford, University of Michigan, University of Washington, University of California Berkeley, University of California -Los Angeles, University of Illinois - Urbana-Champaign, University of North Carolina, University of Southern California, and University of Texas-Austin.

    • The National Consortium for Graduate Degrees* for Minorities in Engineering and Science (GEM) The Intel Foundation collaborates with GEM, which focuses on supporting graduate education for underrepresented minorities at the master's and Ph.D. levels. In 2009, fellowships were awarded to seven master's and ten Ph.D. students. Please contact GEM for any questions about its program or application process.
    • The Semiconductor Research Corporation* (SRC) The Intel Foundation collaborates with SRC, which focuses on master's and Ph.D. level programs for women and underrepresented minorities in the area of semiconductor research. In 2009, the SRC granted fellowships to support 3 master's and 5 Ph.D. students, studying semiconductor technology. Please contact the SRC for any questions about its program or application process.
