Facebook Fellowships for PhD Students Worldwide

Facebook Fellowship Program for Doctoral Students ($42,000 Annual Stipend & Paid visit to Facebook Headquarters).

The Facebook Fellowship is a global program designed to encourage and support promising doctoral students who are engaged in innovative and relevant research in areas related to computer science and engineering at an accredited university.

The program is open to students in any year of their PhD study.

We also encourage people of diverse backgrounds and experiences to apply, especially those from traditionally under-represented minority groups.

Applications are evaluated based on the strength of the student’s research statement, publication record, and recommendation letters.

Winners of the Fellowship are entitled to receive two years of paid tuition and fees, a $42,000 annual stipend to cover living and conference travel costs, a paid visit to Facebook headquarters for the annual Fellowship Summit, and various opportunities to engage with Facebook researchers.
