This $150 million initiative, backed by Bloomberg Philanthropies, will provide permanent funding to add a sustained cohort of ~100 new slots for diverse PhD students in JHU's more than 30 STEM programs. As PhD students, Vivien Thomas scholars will receive the academic and financial support needed to ensure their success, including up to six years of full tuition support, a stipend, health insurance and other benefits, along with significant mentorship, research, professional development and community-building opportunities. Through this initiative JSU will also establish and strengthen pathways for students from HBCUs and Minority Serving Institutions to pursue and receive PhDs in STEM fields. JHU will create new and expanded research-intensive summer undergraduate and post-baccalaureate program experiences for students. The inaugural partner institutions are Howard University; Morehouse College; Morgan State University; Prairie View A&M; Spelman College; and the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.
