The Google Africa PhD Fellowship program was designed to provide support to and recognize exceptional students who are pursuing PhD level studies in computer science and related fields. Successful recipients of this award will be granted $10,000 per year over three years.This program provides funds directly to the university to cover the student’s expense, as well as a stipend if appropriate.
In addition to providing substantial funding to the selected fellows, Google will also match each student with a Google Research Mentor who will become a valuable component of this program for the student.
