Samvid Scholars was established in 2021 by Samvid Ventures to invest in the graduate education of future leaders who are committed to effecting positive change in society.

The Program supports future leaders with exceptional potential and commitment to drive change for society at scale through:

• Two years of leadership development to build the understanding, skills, and support to help Scholars to fulfill their potential
• A growing community of Scholars and alumni to foster cross-disciplinary collaboration, mentorship, and life-long relationships
• Funding to reduce the financial burden of graduate education, up to $100,000 in funding (up to $50,000 per year for two years) towards tuition and fees

Applicants must have an undergraduate GPA of at least 3.50, be a U.S. citizen or DACA recipient, and be a first-year graduate student at the start of the Program.
