Google Africa Phd Fellowship Program 2018 For Phd Student($10,000 Award Per Year by sunbbo(m): 3:29pm On Nov 11, 2017
Nurturing and maintaining strong relations with the academic community is a top priority at Google. The Google Africa PhD Fellowship Program has been created to support and recognize outstanding students pursuing or looking to pursue PhD level studies in computer science and related areas. The Google Africa PhD Fellowship program for 2018 is now open for application until 11:59pm GMT on Friday 19th January 2018. Review the steps below to learn more about how the Fellowship works, eligibility requirements and the application process. 

How the PhD Fellowship works

Successful students receive named Fellowships, which include a $10,000 award per year over 3 years.
The funds are given directly to the university to be distributed to cover the student’s expenses and stipend as appropriate.
The funds are given as an unrestricted gift, and it is Google’s policy not to pay for overhead on unrestricted gifts.
In addition, the student will be matched with a Google Research Mentor who we hope will become a valuable resource to the student.
There is no employee relationship between the student and Google as a result of receiving the fellowship.
Fellowship recipients are not subject to intellectual property restrictions unless they complete an internship at Google.
Fellowship recipients serving an internship are subject to the same intellectual property and other contractual obligations as any other Google intern.

If a Fellowship student is interested, an internship at Google is encouraged, but not guaranteed or required.
