The Department of Computer Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, actively seeks industrial partners for our Industry-Sponsored Graduate Student Fellowship Program. These fellowships provide support for our top graduate students. All fellowships are named for the sponsoring industrial partner and are announced via our newsletter, press releases and Web page.
Most fellowships provide the student with support for the nine-month academic year only.
In many cases the student will spend the summer working at the industrial sponsor's facility. Provisions can be made for twelve-month fellowships where applicable. One of the goals of this fellowship program is to provide students with an opportunity to gain practical research experience. Therefore, we generally expect all fellowship holders to join an active departmental research group. Neither UNC-Chapel Hill nor the Department of Computer Science charges any fee for administering these fellowships.
