Deadline: 28 March 2025
The Y Combinator is requesting applications for its Summer Fellows Grants to spend this summer building interesting technical projects, so they’re giving them grants to do it.
They hope this will encourage the smartest students to indulge their intellectual curiosity instead of doing intern grunt work. Now is the best time ever to do this — AI models keep pushing the limits of what’s possible to build, and AI tools are rapidly making programmers more productive. The returns to spending a summer building things at the edge of your programming ability have never been higher.
Funding Information
- They’ll be $20,000 in cash and $90,000 in compute credits from Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google GCP.
- Summer Fellows will be invited to attend AI Startup School on June 16 – 17.
Eligibility Criteria
- Any undergraduate computer science or engineering college student, including freshmen and students outside the US.
- They’ll consider undergraduate students with different majors if they can show them they’re extremely technical e.g. impressive open source contributions.
Application Requirements
- You can apply by submitting your application below.
- They’ll invite the ones they’re most interested in to a 15 minute online video interview at the end of March.
