Stanford University (USA)
Stanford University is one of the world’s top research universities and educates both undergraduate and graduate-level students. The university is organised into seven schools and more than 30 interdisciplinary centres, programmes, and research laboratories.
In 2021/2022, the Eurofins Foundation provided funding for 5 Undergraduate Scholarships for First-Generation Students at Stanford University, facing demonstrated financial burdens:
- A fifth-year senior majoring in computer science (AI concentration) in the Stanford School of Engineering;
- A student majoring in human biology with a minor in human rights;
- A student majoring in computer science;
- A graduate student with a bachelor’s degree in mathematics and a master’s degree in computer science;
- A graduate student with bachelor’s and master’s degrees in biology.
Stanford devotes great effort to admitting a diverse range of students each year and is committed to first-generation and high-need college students. For the Class of 2024, 20% are first-generation college students. In addition to scholarship support, the university has also committed ongoing resources to the Offices of First-Generation and Low-Income Students to ensure first-generation students’ academic and personal success while at Stanford.
