IBM places a high value on fostering strong collaboration with faculty, students, and universities. 

The IBM Masters Fellowship Program is designed to advance this collaboration by recognizing and supporting exceptional Master's students who are passionate about making their mark in emerging and disruptive technologies, regardless of their field of study. 

This program is open to candidates currently enrolled in Master's programs across a wide spectrum, including sciences, arts, nursing, business, law, and more, with a particular focus on the following topics:

- Hybrid Cloud

- Cybersecurity

- Semiconductors

- Artificial Intelligence

In its fourth year, the IBM Masters Fellowship Program aims to enhance diversity and inclusivity by increasing the participation of underrepresented minority students from disadvantaged backgrounds in the mentioned science-related fields. 

This initiative encourages a broader applicant pool, particularly from historically Black colleges and universities in the United States.
