Maryland native Aaban Syed studies electrical engineering, runs track, serves as a writing tutor, and volunteers as a health advocate—experiences made possible with donor support.
Scholarships help ensure that gifted students can access a Caltech education by removing financial barriers and providing the freedom to learn without worrying about the cost of tuition.
"I'm grateful for scholarships," says Syed, who comes from a one-income, multigenerational household. "I don't know if I could have come to Caltech without them."
