SANTA CLARA, CA—NOVEMBER 30, 2006—NVIDIA Corporation (Nasdaq: NVDA), the worldwide leader in programmable graphics processor technologies, today announced it is accepting applications for the prestigious NVIDIA Fellowship Programme for the 2007-2008 academic year.

Dr. David Kirk, Chief Scientist at NVIDIA stated, "The NVIDIA Fellowship Programme is designed to stimulate and support excellence in graphics and computing research in universities worldwide and to promote communication between NVIDIA's R&D team and outstanding students and professors. Since its inception in 2002, the Programme has awarded over one million dollars in funding to assist 45 Ph.D. students with their research."

Ian Buck, an NVIDIA Fellowship award recipient and current member of NVIDIA’s software team, commented, "With GPU technology changing so rapidly, it is next to impossible to do cutting edge research without access to the latest hardware, as well as insight into where GPUs are going in the future.
