NVIDIA Graduate Fellowship Program is a grant from NVIDIA providing up to $60,000 per award to PhD students conducting research that advances accelerated computing and its applications. Now in its 25th year, the program invites nominations from doctoral students pushing the boundaries of artificial intelligence, robotics, autonomous vehicles, and related fields. Recipients receive not only research funding but also access to NVIDIA technology, products, and engineering expertise, along with a mandatory in-person summer internship. Students are nominated by their faculty advisors and selected based on academic achievement and research area alignment.
CalSEED Concept Award is a grant from the California Energy Commission that provides $150,000 in funding to early-stage clean energy innovators in California. The program targets individuals, businesses, and nonprofits developing hardware, software, or integrated solutions at Technology Readiness Levels 2-4. Eligible technology areas rotate each cycle and have included battery recycling and reuse, long-duration energy storage, medium- and heavy-duty vehicle electrification, industrial electrification, and advanced EV charging. Applicants must be located in California, have under $1 million in private funding, and propose innovations that benefit California ratepayers. Concept Award winners also receive professional development resources and access to accelerator programs, and may compete for a subsequent $450,000 Prototype Award.
NSF's Trailblazer Engineering Impact Award (NSF 26-502) gives a single principal investigator up to $3 million over three years to pursue a high-risk, field-defining project. The July 24 full-proposal deadline is invitation-only — the real contest happened months earlier. Here is how the three-stage structure works, who is eligible, why the no-co-PI rule is the point, and how to position for the next cycle.
Read articleNSF 26-503 replaces the long-running CyberCorps Scholarship for Service with CyberAICorps — a dual-authorized program written against two statutes that explicitly fuses AI competency into the federal cybersecurity workforce pipeline. The July 21, 2026 deadline is the first chance to compete under the new framework, and the $2.5M Scholarship Track and $500K Innovation Track each have constraints that will determine which institutions get a foothold.
Read articleThe renamed CyberAICorps Scholarship for Service (NSF 26-503) pays students $27,000 to $37,000 a year plus full tuition, funds institutional awards up to roughly $2.5 million, and adds a service obligation in government AI and cybersecurity roles. The July 21 Scholarship Track deadline is a workforce-policy tell disguised as a grant. Here is what changed, who qualifies, and how universities should position.
