A $10 million gift from James Lu launches a program funding 55 international engineering PhD students over five years.
A $10 million gift from James Lu, a University of Michigan engineering alumnus and tech entrepreneur, has launched the James F. Lu World Fellows Program, supporting up to 55 international PhD students in engineering fields like AI, computing, medicine, and space technology over five years.
Each fellow will receive up to $150,000 in multi-year funding, with the first cohort starting in fall 2026.
The program aims to attract top global talent amid tightening international research funding and aligns with the 150th anniversary of the first PhD awarded by a U.S. public university.
University leaders and Lu emphasize the program’s role in strengthening U.S. research leadership and the economy, as most international PhD graduates stay in the country post-graduation.
