The fund comprises awards, scholarships, fellowships and grants awarded to selected students and faculty to attract, retain and support talent that pursues excellence through fundamental research.

It is increasingly important to provide exposure and opportunities to deserving students so that they can realise their potential. The objective of the endowment is to nurture a culture of in-depth research for students and faculty in the IEOR.”
