LIDS Student Boix Honored as 2020 Siebel Scholar

Honored for their academic achievements, leadership, and commitments to addressing crucial global challenges, 16 MIT students are among 93 Siebel Scholars from the world’s top graduate programs in bioengineering, business, computer science, and energy science. They were recognized at a luncheon and awards ceremony on the MIT campus on Oct. 31, 2019. LIDS student Enric Boix is a member of the 2020 Siebel Scholar cohort.

Siebel Scholars each receive an award of $35,000 to cover their final year of study. In addition, they will join a community of more than 1,400 past Siebel Scholars, including about 260 from MIT, who serve as advisors to the Thomas and Stacy Siebel Foundation and collaborate “to find solutions to society’s most pressing problems,” according to the foundation. Past Siebel Scholars have launched more than 1,100 products, received at least 370 patents, published nearly 40 books, and founded at least 150 companies, among other achievements, according to the Siebel Scholars Foundation, which administers the program.
