Dear University of Washington ACM Officers,
I’d like to invite your students to apply to the second annual NYC Turing Fellowship. The NYC Turing Fellowship provides exposure to the rapidly growing NYC ecosystem and the opportunity to meet with some of the best entrepreneurs, founders, and technologists in the country.
The application for 2012 will be live shortly and we are currently accepting applications on a rolling basis. Interested students should apply at www.nycturingfellows.org. The first application deadline is January 18th and the final deadline is February 2, 2012. We strongly encourage students to apply early. A group of up to 45 Semi-Finalists will be invited to NYC on February 24th and 25th to interview with participating startups, such as Etsy, OpenSky, Knewton, BirchBox, and ZocDoc. From those 45 Semi-Finalists roughly 30 will be offered Fellowships.
New York City is a growing center for technology, media, and entrepreneurship. The NYC Turing Fellows Program seeks to match outstanding computer science and mathematics students with paid summer internships at leading NYC startups. In addition, these students will benefit from a summer curriculum consisting of networking and mentoring events (including: Yankees Game, MoMA tour, and “Tech Talks” with Dennis Crowley of Foursquare and Esther Dyson) and a $5,000 fellowship prize upon completion of the program.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me directly.
All the best,
Maya Mandel
