Project background

The desire to understand nature and its laws is a never ending quest for human beings. It is the pursuit of this quest that leads to significant breakthroughs in science and technology, which in turn make their way into real-world applications, and ultimately improve the quality of our lives. Breakthoughs are the result of diligent research, deep thought, flashes of inspiration, and more often than not, a little luck. Graduate programs in schools are often the starting point for producing such researchers. However, financial constraints often make it difficult for students to pursue higher studies. Consequently, financial assistance can play a significant role in determining whether a student pursues higher studies. The goal of GKF is to encourage students to enter graduate programs, by making financial assistance available to them through fellowships.
