The Gates Millennium Scholars Program is a national non-profit initiative focused on promoting academic excellence and expanding educational opportunities for outstanding minority students with significant financial need. It is administered by the United Negro College Fund and works with the American Indian Graduate Center Scholars, the Hispanic Scholarship Fund, and the Asian & Pacific Islander American Scholarship Fund to reach, coordinate, and support its constituent groups. The program aims to connect eligible students with pathways to higher education and related support. Based in Washington, District of Columbia, the organization operates as a mid-sized nonprofit within the education sector. In December 2023, BenQ Corporation announced an integration with Gates Millennium Scholars Program, enabling BenQ Boards to access Google services directly through the board. The program's focus remains on advancing higher education opportunities for minority students with financial need, aligning with broader efforts to promote educational equity.
