The IBM PhD Fellowship Awards are nominated through a faculty member at the university to recognize and support exceptional PhD students. The IBM Masters Fellowship Awards are nominated through a faculty member from a historically Black college or university to recognize and support exceptional Masters students. IBM Academic Awards are nominated internally by IBMers in a spirit of collaboration with faculty and ongoing and future initiatives at universities.
The IBM Global University Program Awards increase access for universities to IBM technologies for research and in the classroom. Both the IBM PhD Fellowship Awards and the IBM Academic Awards are global programs. How nominators engage with the programs differ.
