MKS Instruments has committed a total of $50,000 over the next 5 years to support Inclusion & Diversity Scholarships within the Knight Campus Graduate Internship Program. The scholarship fund was initially launched in 2017, alongside a larger campaign to improve all elements of diversity, equity and inclusion within the program. With the first phase (2017-2022) of scholarships nearing an end, the gift from MKS Instruments and a $100,000 commitment from the master’s program ensures students will continue to have access to DEI-centered scholarships.
In addition to supporting scholarships, senior leadership, HR and alumni (at multiple levels) employed at MKS Instruments have supported outreach events alongside the program to improve the culture of STEM.
