Supporting Talented Stern Students

The largest allocation from the Stern Fund supports scholarships for Stern students, which allow us to attract the best and brightest applicants, many of whom otherwise could not afford a world-class Stern education. Since 2010, Stern has increased donor funded scholarship award dollars by 192 percent thanks to support from alumni and friends.
