[Matthias Felleisen]

Guys, since money is no longer growing on NSF trees, please take a  
close look at this funding source. If you're interested, talk to your  
advisors/mentors. The guidelines are flexible, but let's plan ahead. --

> Each year Microsoft Research selects twelve exceptional PhD students  
> to receive fellowships. Each two-year fellowship includes a $20,000  
> stipend, payment of tuition/fees, and $2,000 for conference travel. In  
> addition, we offer each Fellow a brand new TabletPC computer preloaded  
> with Microsoft software, and the opportunity to be a salaried intern  
> at Microsoft Research.

> If you or a colleague of yours has a truly exceptional student in  
> programming languages, systems, or a closely related area, please  
> encourage them to apply through the Computer Science, Electrical  
> Engineering, or Math department at their school. Each year we receive  
> a number of highly qualified candidates, so the process is very  
> competitive.
