Carnegie Mellon Clare Booth Luce Graduate Fellowship Program

- The Clare Boothe Luce Program stands alone as the single most significant source of private support for women in science, engineering and mathematics. Clare Boothe Luce, the widow of Henry R. Luce, was a playwright, journalist, U.S. Ambassador to Italy, and the first woman elected to Congress from Connecticut. She appreciated, however, that many women face obstacles in their chosen professions. In her magnificent bequest establishing this program, she sought "to encourage women to enter, study, graduate, and teach" in the sciences (including mathematics) and engineering.
