Thermo Fisher Foundation for Science

As the world leader in serving science, Thermo Fisher Scientific has both an interest in, and a responsibility for, inspiring tomorrow's scientists and engineers. The Thermo Fisher Foundation for Science was created to give back to our global community by supporting science students and broadening interest in the STEM subjects: science, technology, engineering and math.

The Foundation helps to fund a range of initiatives, including university scholarships and an innovative library-based program to inspire a passion for science at all ages.

Over the past few years, the Thermo Fisher Foundation for Science has provided scholarships to more than 40 students at six universities in the U.S., Europe, and China. Students' areas of study include a range of fields vital to progress in applied sciences. Thermo Fisher Scientific also provides donations to educational institutions, enabling them to train scientists, engineers and researchers using state-of-the-art tools and equipment.
