Eligibility

A full-time graduate student pursuing a Ph.D. in the Business Data Science program at MTSM.  If a master's degree program in the same field is established in the MTSM in the future, full-time students enrolled in that graduate program will also be eligible.  Students pursuing the Business Analytics concentration in the M.S. in Management program are also eligible.  The student must be engaged in a data science-related research project in collaboration with one or more MTSM faculty members. Stipends for outstanding graduate students are provided who (1) are enrolled in one of the academic programs in the Martin Tuchman School of Management (MTSM) that focus on business data science and (2) are actively engaged in data science-related research in collaboration with one or more MTSM faculty members. Priority will be given to students enrolled in the Ph.D. in Business Data Science program. However, other MTSM graduate students may also be considered, such as those enrolled in any future master's degree program with a business data science focus established by MTSM or those pursuing the Business Analytics concentration in the M.S. in Management program.

Henry J and Erna D Leir Endowment for Graduate Student Research Fellowships

About the Donor

Over time, the Leirs established several organizations, eventually becoming known as The Leir Charitable Foundations, committed to the global humanitarian ideals and interests of Henry J. and Erna D. Leir. Thus, its work supports the advance of high quality educational and cultural institutions, medical research and care, services for children and the disadvantaged, and programs that enhance multi-cultural understanding and diversity. In the last years of his life, Henry and Erna Leir planned charitable uses of their 37-acre property in Ridgefield, Connecticut. At age 97, he designed and oversaw the construction of Leir House, focusing on programs for disadvantaged children of all races and religions, and scientific and educational conferences. The first session at Leir House commenced two weeks after his death, and the series and other activities continue to flourish to this day, as he has hoped.

Eligibility

The Leir Graduate Student Research Fellowships will enhance the opportunity to support and recruit outstanding new students into the Ph.D. program in MTSM.
