Google Scholarships 2027: Fully Funded Opportunities to Study AI and Technology at Top Universities
Overview
The Google DeepMind scholarship initiative aims to widen access to artificial intelligence education by funding postgraduate study at partner universities in Africa, Europe, North America, South America, the Middle East and selected countries in Asia. It supports students with financial need and strong academic potential, and encourages diversity within the AI community. There is no single central application: eligible students generally apply through participating universities, each of which runs its own selection process under Google's guidelines. Partner countries have included the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Germany, France, South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya and Brazil, and the list changes over time.
What you get
Depending on the partner university, successful applicants may receive full tuition coverage, a monthly living stipend, accommodation support, research funding, travel assistance, academic mentoring, networking, access to the Google DeepMind community, career development and leadership opportunities. Actual benefits vary by institution.
The scholarships mainly support postgraduate study in artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer science, data science, robotics, computational mathematics, software engineering, intelligent systems, natural language processing, computer vision and related fields.
Who can apply
Requirements vary by university, but applicants generally need a bachelor's degree or equivalent, the university's admission requirements, excellent academic performance, a strong interest in AI, English proficiency where required, leadership potential and commitment to AI research or technology development. Selection can consider academic excellence, research potential, financial need where applicable, motivation and commitment to diversity and inclusion.
How to apply
Applicants choose a participating university and an AI or computer science programme, check eligibility, and apply for admission. Some universities consider eligible students automatically while others require a separate scholarship application.
