A quick thread on the @reportbee Remote Research Fellowship 2018! The goal was to encourage more indian students to pursue research. We wanted to make sure it was on their radar as a possible option after undergrad.
@reportbee ReportBee would sponsor one student for a remote research internship. The internship would last for a year, giving the student time to meaningfully contribute to a project. The stipend would help the student allocate time for the project.
@reportbee We received applications from 27 universities all over India! This was super encouraging since this was the first year we were trying this. Most students wanted to apply for a Masters degree, some wanted to do a PhD.
@reportbee We were stunned by the high quality of applications. There were so many technically strong and motivated students! After reviewing the applications, we selected 12 students to interview over video chat.
@reportbee After talking to each of the 12 students, we then further shortlisted three students as the finalists. We interviewed the three students again, and then made our decision.
