International students (non-U.S. citizens) are eligible. Students must be currently enrolled in their first year in a graduate program. If a student has already completed graduate-level (for graduate credit*) coursework in any subject area, prior to their first year in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or Mathematics, then the student is not eligible for the Scholarship program. *Graduate level courses taken as part of a BS degree do not disqualify a student (verified via email exchange with Microsoft).
A maximum of three candidates per department may be nominated.
