Title: IIE Google DeepMind AI Master’s Scholarships 2025

Application deadline: Varies by institution.

Google DeepMind is committed to making AI more accessible to the next generation.

The Google DeepMind Scholarships program advances access to higher education by supporting partner universities’ efforts to build a stronger and more inclusive AI community, helping bring a wider range of experiences to AI and AI-adjacent fields.

The program supports talented students from underrepresented groups and those with limited financial means to pursue postgraduate study and careers in AI.

Each Google DeepMind Scholar becomes part of a community of future AI professionals. The Scholars will receive:

• Stipend to cover housing and living costs
• Stipend for travel and relocation costs to attend the partner university
• Access to AI-related academic conferences and Google DeepMind events
• Insights and guidance from a mentor at Google DeepMind
