Statement of Purpose

The Julian Schwinger Foundation intends to support such research and educational activities for which funding from other sources is typically not available. Julian Schwinger was especially interested in theoretical and experimental research on energy concentrating phenomena. The foundation will accord such proposals the highest priority.

In addition, limited funds are available for improving educational opportunities at the undergraduate level and above. In particular, the foundation will consider applications for sponsorship for scientific workshops, conferences, summer schools and the like, as well as grants for undergraduate research projects.

All applications will be considered based upon merit, regardless of the race and religion of the applicants. The foundation reserves the right to deny funding to proposals that do not meet its standards of scholarship, creativity and feasibility. Refusal of funding is final with no appeal or recourse available.
