“As we launch the first–of–its–kind undergraduate program in Child Behavioral Health, the Ballmer Institute Fund for Student Support will provide critical support for our trailblazing students. This fund will allow us to recruit, retain, and support these pioneering students by providing scholarships, housing subsidies, workforce stipends, and funds to foster campus integration that will allow them to thrive as they join us in transforming the future of children’s behavioral health.”
