The Siebel Scholars award was founded in 2000 by the Thomas and Stacey Siebel Foundation in Redwood City. The award is given annually to outstanding students at 16 leading schools around the world who are pursuing graduate degrees in business, computer science, and bioengineering.

Scholars are selected each year following a review process by the deans of their respective schools on the basis of their academic achievement and demonstrated leadership. They receive $35,000 for their final year of study.
