The Starr Foundation was established in 1955 by Cornelius Vander Starr, a pioneer in globalization and an entrepreneur who founded C.V. Starr & Co. and other companies. Later combined by his successor Maurice R. Greenberg, Starr’s companies now make up the American International Group, Inc. Starr died in 1968 and left his estate to the Starr Foundation. The Foundation has assets of approximately $1.25 billion, making it one of the largest private foundations in the United States.

The Starr Foundation has endowed C.V. Starr Scholarship Funds at more than 100 colleges and universities and selected secondary schools. The foundation has also funded a number of programs to encourage the education of U.S. students abroad and students from foreign countries to the U.S.
