[HHMI: Science Education Grants for Institutions](Apply to a Program | HHMI)

The Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s grants initiative to advance undergraduate scientific research is the largest privately funded educational initiative of its kind in the US. Awardees are selected in a competitive process with the judges being distinguished scientists and educators. Although the grants amount to “only” a few million each award cycle, winning a grant reflects outside reviewers’ opinions on the science program of each school. If you graduate as a science major from Haverford, you won’t have to worry too much about name recognition in the sciences from people in the know.
