## Summary

General Catalyst's Research Fellowship will support about 20 undergraduates with up to $25K in Modal compute each for a 90-day project. Modal says students should not have to scale down their research ideas because they lack access to compute. Applications are open now at generalcatalyst.com/research-fellows.

The @generalcatalyst Research Fellowship will support 20 undergraduates with up to $25K in compute from Modal to power their most ambitious ideas.

We're excited to see what you build!
