September 9, 2011 at 05:04$ 25,000 Nvidia grant for graphics and GPGPU research projects
A few days ago, Nvidia began accepting applications for a grant of $ 25k for research projects on the subject of graphics and high-performance computing " Graduate Fellowship Program ".
I hope on Habré there are colleagues to whom it will be useful.
To get the coveted 25 thousand you need:
1) To finish the first year of graduate school;
2) To study in a specialty related to computing (you can not pay attention to this, the automotive industry turned out to be a very suitable specialty :));
3) Be a member of a research team;
4) Continue training in the year of the grant.
There are no restrictions on the place of study, so you can apply from anywhere in the world.
It is also necessary to provide:
1) Description of the project on 2 pages;
2) CV;
3) Up to 3 recommendations from professors.
Last year there were 8 winners of 20 thousand each, this year they promise to give out 25 thousand to 10 participants. As a participant in last year’s contest, I can say that you can get something without winning. In any case, last year I was unsubscribed from Nvidia and said that I was in the finals, but did not quite reach the victory. For such a case, they gave me an incentive prize in the form of a free registration at the GTC 2012 conference with a pre-accepted poster and a GTX480 for free, plus a line in the resume about entering the final of the competition. So I advise you to try;)
