The Boston Scientific Foundation is dedicated to improving health and expanding educational opportunities for economically disadvantaged individuals, focusing on communities where Boston Scientific employees reside and work in the United States.
The Foundation's grant program aims to enhance STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) educational opportunities and academic development for K-12 students who are economically disadvantaged. It supports education programs where at least 50% of participants live at 185% of the poverty level or lower, or where funding is specifically directed to participants within this economic threshold. The program specifically notes that it does not fund stipends for participation.
