Scholarship Exam Details

The NVIDIA Graduate Fellowship Program is an elite research grant for PhD students who are pushing the boundaries of accelerated computing. Entering its 25th year in 2026, the program offers up to $60,000 (approx. ₹50 Lakhs) per award. NVIDIA identifies talent in fields like Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Autonomous Vehicles, and System Architecture. The fellowship is designed to build a deep relationship between the scholar and NVIDIA researchers. A mandatory part of the award is a summer internship at one of NVIDIA’s global research offices (USA, Germany, Taiwan, etc.). Recipients are selected based on their research results to date and how their work might influence the design or performance of future GPUs. This is a "Research-First" scholarship that prioritizes innovation over traditional exam scores.
