Facebook Fellowships Open Up Internationally
Facebook has extended its fellowships for PhD candidates to include those studying outside of the U.S.
The second edition of Facebook Fellowship Program, which supports PhD students doing innovative research in the areas of social web and technology, has opened up to include universities outside the U.S., among other changes.
International students studying at U.S. universities had already been able to compete for these awards for the 2010-2011 academic year, but for next year’s fellowships any student from any university in the world can apply. This implies more competition for the applicants, but more international recognition for the program.
Last time, Facebook looked for students doing research in only a handful of areas like cloud computing and Internet economics.
