2025-26 Sanville Institute Scholarship Recipients
The Board of Trustees’ decision to award five scholarships for the 2025-26 academic year reflects our commitment to support research that has socio-cultural, as well as clinical relevance; in particular we are proud to encourage and support research that promotes diversity, equity, and inclusion at a time when these values are under attack by the current US administration and more broadly.
