2020 Facebook奖学金名单出炉！36位学者获选，4.2万美元助学金！

每年，Facebook奖学金项目都会奖励那些在计算机科学和工程领域进行重要课题研究的博士生，比如计算机视觉、编程语言、计算社会科学等等。Facebook奖学金的获得者将获得最多两个学年的学杂费和42,000美元的助学金，其中包括会议差旅费。

该项目目前已经进入第九个年头，已经资助了来自各个大学的108名博士生。今年，我们从美国16所大学和6所非美国大学中挑选了36位杰出的研究学者。我们总共收到了来自全球100多所大学的1876份申请。

“自去年以来，提交的申请数量增加了一倍多。我们为学生申请增加了更多的研究领域，而且这个名单每年还会继续增长。”“看着这个项目与每一个新学员一起成长、演变，是令人兴奋的。”

获奖者也被邀请到位于门洛帕克的Facebook总部参加年度奖学金峰会。此次峰会为研究员们提供了一个机会，可以与其他同事建立联系，分享他们的研究成果，并进一步了解Facebook的研究人员正在从事的工作。阿亚尔德说:“祝贺今年的杰出奖学生。“我们期待在峰会上与您见面!”
