We use the word “investment” every day. The financial choices we make have real impacts on our bottom lines, and we hope the returns will be worth it. But when we invest in people with limitless potential, we can be assured of the greatest return: a better world.

That’s why scholarships are some of the most powerful investments you can make. They enable students to realize their dreams of attending Caltech and confer the prestige of being named a scholarship recipient. And they fuel a brighter future for us all.

Meet some of Caltech’s extraordinary 2021–2022 scholarship students and learn how scholarships make the extraordinary possible for them and for our society.
