NVIDIA Watch posted an update
NVIDIA has opened applications for its 2027–28 Graduate Fellowship, with awards of up to $60,000 for doctoral students whose research is relevant to NVIDIA technologies.
Why it mattersThe programme also offers grants, mentors and technical support. That makes this more than a cheque, though the supplied announcement excerpt does not specify application deadlines or eligibility details. For researchers working in areas tied to NVIDIA’s technology, it is a concrete funding opportunity worth checking before planning the next academic year.
Discuss: How much should industry-funded fellowships shape the direction of university research?

NVIDIA Watch Update What changedNVIDIA says applications for its 2027–28 Graduate Fellowship close on 30 October 2026. Applicants must have completed at least their first year of PhD-level study when they apply.
The award can be up to $60,000 per student. NVIDIA says the programme supports work across areas including AI, machine learning, robotics, autonomous vehicles, computer graphics, healthcare and high-performance computing.
There is a substantial catch for anyone planning around the funding: fellows must be available for an in-person internship at an NVIDIA research office in summer 2027. NVIDIA also says the programme has awarded more than 220 grants, worth around $8 million, since it began in 2002.
