Google expands internships/fellowships

Google is continuing to run and expand creative and research fellowships — including a U.S. Creative Fellowship and IIT Madras summer programs — that emphasize end‑to‑end, impact‑oriented projects for competitive internship slots. These tracks prioritize project ownership and measurable outcomes. ( )

Google’s Creative Fellowship is a six‑month, US‑based placement that the official program page lists as “apply by March 30” and requires fellows to be located in and authorized to work in the United States. (creativefellowship.google) The Creative Fellowship places participants on internal teams including Brand Studio, Creative Lab, Google Cloud Brand & Creative, and YouTube Creative Studio, and past fellows are credited on projects such as Year in Search 2025, a PAC‑MAN Doodle contribution, and Google Cloud Next creative work. (creativefellowship.google) Open role descriptions list writers, art directors, designers, filmmakers, engineers and creative technologists with eligibility geared toward early‑career talent (0–5 years), and the program language highlights a “maker‑first” approach and hands‑on project placements. (creativefellowship.google) Several program listings and outreach posts indicate the 2026 Creative Fellowship cohort is expected to begin in June and run roughly six months (mid‑June to mid‑December in third‑party calendars), aligning with the official six‑month duration. (itp.nyu.edu) IIT Madras’s Summer Fellowship Programme 2026 is a two‑month, on‑campus research internship scheduled from May 18 to July 17, 2026, with a reported stipend of Rs.15,000 per month and an application window that opened on February 2 and closed on March 2, 2026 via the institute’s portal. (collegedekho.com) IITM frames the SFP as guided mini‑research projects under faculty supervision with lab access and mentorship for eligible non‑IIT students (third‑year undergrads and first‑year postgrads among stated categories), while Google’s fellowship materials emphasize hands‑on ownership of real creative deliverables and cross‑team mentorship.
