titleEligibility

Full-time graduate students pursuing a PhD in the research areas represented by the fellowships

Must attend an eligible university, including Illinois.

Must be nominated by their department

Completed graduate coursework by the Fall of the award year, when the Fellowship begins. This is usually the 3rd year for US students.

Students who are already receiving another fellowship are not eligible.


Universities may nominate up to four eligible students from Computer Science or related fields. If more than two are nominated, then in order to increase opportunities for students who are underrepresented in the field of computing, additional nominees must self-identify as a woman, Black/African American, American Indian/Alaskan Native, Hispanic/Latinx, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, and/or person with a disability.  In other words, if a university chooses to nominate more than 2 students, then the 3rd and 4th student nomination should self-identify with the underrepresented group mentioned above.
