Bristol Myers Squibb is a global biopharmaceutical company whose mission is to discover, develop and deliver innovative medicines that help patients prevail over serious diseases. Our vision is to be the world’s leading biopharmaceutical company that transforms patients’ lives through science. At BMS, we are about breakthroughs—the kind that transform patients’ lives through lifesaving, innovative medicines.

We firmly believe that prescription medicines are such a vital part of human healthcare that everyone who needs them should have access to them. As part of our sustainability commitment, we have been, and remain committed to, facilitating access to our medicines and to furthering our mission to help patients prevail over serious diseases.

As part of our commitment to continuing our strong leadership and legacy in pioneering life-saving medicines for people around the world, Bristol Myers Squibb will support 5 young leaders who are improving the health outcomes of communities disproportionately affected by serious diseases and health problems to attend the 2023 One Young World Summit through the Bristol Myers Squibb Scholarship.

Bristol Myers Squibb scholars are social entrepreneurs, activists, health professionals and more who are paving the way for a world with a more inclusive and innovative healthcare sector and a shared mindset to serve patients.
