Samvid Scholars Program

The Samvid Scholars Program is a graduate scholarship and leadership development program for exceptional first-year graduate students committed to driving change for society. The program provides funding for tuition and fees as well as comprehensive leadership development programming. Scholars are selected holistically based on academic excellence, leadership, mission, bias towards action, and determination. The program includes virtual programming such as peer discussions, workshops, and an impact project, along with campus visits, an annual summer conference, and alumni support. The scholarship is designed to support future leaders pursuing graduate degrees in fields including medicine (MD), business (MBA), law (JD), public policy (MPP/MPA), public health (MPH), and select STEM or social sciences master's programs at universities in the United States. Scholars receive both financial support and personalized leadership development to deepen their understanding of who they are, what matters to them, and their unique path to impact.
