Carnegie Mellon Siebel Scholars
-The Siebel Foundation has established the Siebel Scholars Program
to recognize the most talented students who have demonstrated academic
and leadership excellence at the world's leading graduate
schools of business and computer science. Each year, these outstanding
students are selected based upon academic merit and leadership in the first
year of the graduate studies. Each student receives an award of $25,000.
The purpose of the Siebel Scholars program is threefold: to recognize graduate students who have demonstrated the highest levels of academic achievement and leadership; to support the graduate programs at universities that have made great contributions to the information technology industry and society; and to create a unique community of individuals who will share knowledge, engage in innovative projects, and provide one another with professional support throughout their careers. There is no end to what these Scholars, the best and brightest in their fields, can achieve individually and as a community.
