John R. Wooden Scholarship Fund

During the 27 years John R. Wooden coached the UCLA men's basketball team, he brought them to 19 Conference Championships and 10 NCAA championships. But his winning record is only part of the story of Coach Wooden.

Wooden's real passion is his dedication as a teacher and educator. Applied Materials established the John R. Wooden Scholarship Fund to provide scholarship support to universities identified through the John R. Wooden Scholarship Program. Since 2002, the fund has enabled 38 students endowed with the qualities of leadership and dedication to pursue their educational goals. In 2004, for the first time, a woman's award will be presented, and women will benefit from the John R. Wooden Scholarships.

Sponsor Applied Materials has been joined by Accenture, Celerity, Ernst & Young, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Oracle, Sanmina-SCI, Thayer Capital Partners and individual contributors in supporting this scholarship fund.
