A new endowed fund was established with a very generous gift from SPP’s Founding Dean Anil Deolalikar and his wife Padmaja. The fund which is named as the Anil and Padmaja Deolalikar Award in the School of Public Policy is designed to support both undergraduate and graduate students in the School of Public Policy for needs ranging from tuition support to research stipends. As an endowment, this fund will remain in perpetuity and upon maturity in five years, will provide much needed support to SPP students on an annual basis.
