Summary

The Facebook Fellowship Program is open to students in any year of their Ph.D. study. Facebook also encourages people of diverse backgrounds and experiences to apply, especially those from traditionally underrepresented minority groups. Applications are evaluated based on the strength of the student’s research statement, publication record, and recommendation letters.
