• Applicants must be full-time doctoral students pursuing research in one of the topical areas listed above.
• Applicants must have either two or three years remaining in their graduate program. Students with less than two years, or more than three years, remaining in their graduate program are not eligible. 
• Students of any citizenship/nationality are eligible.
• Note: A maximum of only two nominations from a given university may be for students who do NOT self-identify as a member of a group traditionally underrepresented in the field of computing (see paragraph below).
• Applicants may NOT be supported at the time of application by another industry-sponsored full fellowship.

A university may submit up to five nominations. However, if more than two are submitted, then in order to increase opportunities for students who are underrepresented in the field of computing, additional nominees must self-identify as a woman, non-binary, 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 two nominees, then the third, fourth, and fifth nominees must self-identify with one of the underrepresented groups mentioned above.

A campus review panel assembled by the Graduate College will select up to five finalists for consideration in the national competition.

Students must be nominated by their department, and each department may submit up to four nominations. Note that if more than two nominations are submitted, however, the third and fourth nomination must be of a student who self-identifies as underrepresented (see list in paragraph above).
