AT&T Labs Fellowship Program

Sponsor: AT&T Labs, Inc.

An AT&T Labs Fellowship is the opportunity of a lifetime. Fellowships are available to outstanding under-represented minority and women students who are U.S. Citizens or Permanent Residents and who are pursuing PhD studies in computer and communications-related fields. If you really want to make a difference as a professional scientist, we can help you get started.

Program Description

This program awards a three-year fellowship and is contingent on an annual review demonstrating that the recipients are making satisfactory progress toward their PhD.

Each recipient of a fellowship is placed in a summer research internship the first summer. During these summers, the students work as a part of research teams on various ongoing projects within AT&T Labs.
