Buterin Scholarship

The Vitalik Buterin Scholarship is  awarded to a student entering grade 9 or 10 who displays exceptional achievement in math, science, and the humanities.

 

The scholarship, named for Abelard alumnus Buterin, co-founder of the blockchain/cryptocurrency Ethereum, reflects the breadth of his own accomplishments as a student at The Abelard School, and is funded thanks to his generous donation.

This full scholarship is valid for one academic year.
