About the Program
Since its first grants in 1989 the Clare Boothe Luce Program for Women in STEM has become the single most significant source of private support for women in science, mathematics and engineering in Higher Education in the United States. Clare Boothe Luce, the widow of Henry R. Luce, was a playwright, journalist, U.S. Ambassador to Italy, and the first woman elected to Congress from Connecticut. In her bequest establishing this program, she sought “to encourage women to enter, study, graduate, and teach” in science, mathematics and engineering. To date, the program has supported more than 2,900 women. As of 2021, the CBL Program for Women in STEM has awarded a total of 819 grants to 200 different institutions, including 65 grants to Minority-Serving Institutions.

The program has awarded Lehigh University funding to provide fellowships for high-achieving undergraduate women in engineering. The award supports Lehigh University's Clare Boothe Luce Research Scholars, and is administered by the Dean's Office of the P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science.
