A $10 million gift from the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation has created an endowment that will provide year-in, year-out support to graduate students at Caltech. Augmented by $5 million from the Gordon and Betty Moore Graduate Fellowship Match, the grant establishes the Beckman-Gray Graduate Student Fellowship Fund at Caltech.
The fellowships honor the foundation's cofounder Arnold O. Beckman (PhD '28) and its former chair, Harry B. Gray, who is the Arnold O. Beckman Professor of Chemistry and founding director of the Beckman Institute at Caltech.
