Over the last several months, the Thurgood Marshall College Fund received over 3,500 applications for about 500 scholarships providing financial assistance to students at our 47 historically black member institutions across the country. And while we celebrate that 500 students will be able to continue to complete their academic careers over the course of the 2017-18 academic year with support from our valued corporate partners and donors, being able to help less than one out of every five students who express need is not an acceptable success rate by any means.

As part of an ongoing effort to encourage women and girls to pursue careers in the STEM fields, 21st Century Fox worked with the U.S. Department of State on a unique educational exchange program inspired by the Fox 2000 film Hidden Figures. The program, Hidden No More, brought 48 women from 48 different countries, each of whom are STEM leaders in their home countries, to the United States this October for a three-week tour of American organizations making strides to support women in STEM. Hidden No More marks the first time in the history of the State Department that a Hollywood movie has led to the creation of a publicly funded education exchange program.

When I was first asked to blog about the most valuable part of the Amgen Scholars Program for me this past summer, I had no idea how to respond. How could I choose from the many great opportunities I had been given? Maybe I should talk about being able to experience life as a graduate student working full time in a lab.
On a surprisingly sunny Sunday afternoon, 21 students from 17 different countries all arrived in Cambridge. Each of us came from a unique background, armed with distinctive outlooks on life, but we all shared the same unequivocal curiosity and passion that science demands. The earlier arrivals amongst us (including me) formed a welcome party for those yet to come, taking the time to introduce ourselves.
