Intel PhD Fellowship Program awards fellowships, USA

Overview

The Intel PhD Fellowship Program awards fellowships to exceptional PhD candidates pursuing leading-edge innovation in fields related to Intel's business and research interests. This is a prestigious and highly competitive program with a limited number of fellowships awarded annually. This is an extremely coveted award and selected students are recognized as being amongst the best in their areas of research.

History

The fellowship program was started in the early 1990s by Intel co-founder Gordon Moore. Its purpose was to recognize and honor top students pioneering research in all areas that would benefit humankind. Gordon wanted to give back to those universities and communities who excelled at producing top technical talent. It was also a way to foster collaborative partnerships with universities, its faculty, and promote the next generation of technology leadership. The program has been operational every year for more than two decades. Today's program maintains that same spirit of acknowledging innovative talent and places an added emphasis on developing generations of students who are responsive to the thought-provoking questions facing the semiconductor and computing industries and their impact on an increasingly connected global society.

Award Provisions

The fellowship includes a cash award (one academic year tuition plus stipend) and a travel grant. Every award recipient is assigned to an Intel technical mentor who is an established leader in their field. Students work directly with their mentor to develop a deep understanding of the technical issues facing the industry and be on the forefront of solving the most complex technical problems that lie ahead. Award recipients are also prioritized for internships and hiring opportunities within the company.

Intel PhD fellows are invited to attend the PhD Fellowship Forum held during the summer on the Intel campus to be recognized, learn about Intel's latest technologies, and network with fellow winners, top Intel executives, and technical leaders.

Eligibility

• Must be currently enrolled in a PhD program at one of the participating universities with interest in one of the following technology areas: Hardware Systems Technology and Design, Semiconductor Technology and Manufacturing, Software Technology and Design, Social Research and Ethnography.


• Must have the unrestricted permanent right to work in the U.S. without any type of sponsorship. Exceptions may be made for PhD candidates with critical skills in an area of demonstrated shortage in the U.S. These positions are also subject to U.S. Department of Commerce restrictions on Export Licensing and are therefore not open to individuals from embargoed and controlled countries.


• Student must retain full-time student status during the academic year for which the fellowship is awarded.


• Must be within eighteen months of graduation.


• Must have successfully completed qualifying exams.


• If selected, student may not defer the fellowship.


• Final awards are competitive and based on the student's academic excellence and ability to clearly articulate their research interests.


• Payment of the fellowship award will be made directly to the university and is non-transferable.


• Intel employees and their families are not eligible.

Application

Select U.S. universities are invited annually to submit a limited number of student candidates for consideration. Students must first be nominated by their corresponding university and then are judiciously reviewed by Intel fellows and technical leaders to select the most qualified award recipients. Intel values diversity and encourages applicants from diverse backgrounds, under-represented minority groups, and women to apply.

Intel does not accept direct applications from students or faculty. Applications are submitted online. Once applicants are nominated by their respective Intel designated university coordinator, they will be given a link, username, and password to access the application form. Please contact your university's engineering or computer science department to determine if your school is currently participating in the program, locate the Intel designated university coordinator, or to receive additional information on the application process.
