The Facebook Fellowship Program & Emerging Scholar Awards 

The world’s largest social networking site Facebook is pleased to announce its Fully Funded Facebook Fellowship Program and Emerging Scholars Awards for first or second-year Ph.D. students, who are members of a minority group.

The award is designed to specifically support talented students from underrepresented minority groups and encourage them to continue their Ph.D. studies, pursue innovative research, and engage with the broader research community.

What You Need To Know About The Facebook Fellowship Program 2022

The winners of the scholarship will get tuition and fees for two academic years, up to $5,000 towards conference travel funds and $37,000 annual stipend.

The Facebook Fellowship Program and Emerging Scholar Awards are designed to encourage and support promising doctoral students who are engaged in innovative and relevant research in areas related to Computer science and Engineering.

Winners of the Fellowship are entitled to receive two years of tuition and fees paid, a stipend of $37,000 each year, and up to $5,000 in conference travel support.

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

Facebook’s mission is to give people the power to share and make the world more open and connected. People use Facebook to stay connected with friends and family, to discover what’s going on in the world, and to share and express what matters to them.

While open to students in any year of Ph.D. study, a heavy emphasis on research and publication record for Facebook Fellowships favor students who are further along in their course of study.

Applicants who are earlier in their career and fit the criteria of a minority group that is traditionally under-represented* in the technology sector have the option of being evaluated for an Emerging Scholar Award.
