Building engineers into tomorrow’s innovators, leaders & changemakers.
The Maggon Family Foundation exists to empower the next generation of engineers— not just to build technology, but to build the future. We believe engineers can create extraordinary impact when equipped with technical excellence, leadership capability, and real-world exposure.
- The Maggon Family Scholarship – supporting high-potential undergraduate engineering students from underrepresented or financially constrained backgrounds pursuing computer science and related fields.
- The Maggon Family Innovation Fellowship – multi-year support for graduate students advancing AI, search, information retrieval, and next-generation digital experiences.
- Entrepreneurship for Engineers Leadership Program – Partnering with universities and accelerator programs to help engineering students learn how to build, launch, and lead—with purpose.
- Industry Collaboration & Mentorship – capstone projects, guest lectures, and real-world engineering work across AI, digital experience, responsible innovation, startups, and product thinking.
We are immigrant engineers who built a life in the U.S. through education, curiosity, and perseverance. The Maggon Family Foundation is our way of giving the next generation the opportunities we received—plus the mentorship we wish we had.
Our guiding belief: the world needs more engineers who can build with intention, lead with clarity, and innovate with humanity. When you invest in an engineer, you don’t just support one student—you support every life they will impact through their work, leadership, and service.
