“The purpose of the Clare Boothe
Luce Fund shall be to encourage
women to enter, study, graduate,
and teach” in science,
engineering, and mathematics.
“I select such fields of endeavor
in recognition that women today
have already entered the fields of
medicine, law, business and the
arts, and in order to encourage
more women to enter
the fields of science.”
— Clare Boothe Luce, 1987
