Gifts: Scholarships and Fellowships In 2006-2007, KGI gave more than $1.7 million in scholarships to the 77 students enrolled in the MBS program. This student aid is essential to attracting and retaining the most talented scientists and engineers to pursue degrees that will position them to be tomorrow's bioscience industry leaders. Numerous individuals, foundations, corporations and other organizations provide generous named awards that underwrite a significant portion of this vital scholarship support each year. We are pleased to recognize these important contributors and thank them for their generosity and commitment to educating the brightest minds in the applied life sciences. The Annenberg Foundation

The William Randolph Hearst Foundations One of the nation's most renowned scholarship granting organizations, the William Randolph Hearst Foundations made its first-ever grant to KGI in 2006-07, contributing $250,000 to establish the William Randolph Hearst Endowed Scholarship Fund. The Hearst endowment will total $500,000 following a one-to-one match from Sidney J. Weinberg Jr., KGI co-founder and emeritus chairman, who has provided a challenge grant of $2.5 million to match up to 10 gifts of $250,000 for endowed student scholarships. Representing an institutional honor, Hearst scholarships will be given to students who have demonstrated academic excellence in their pursuit of a Master of Bioscience (MBS) degree.
