据新闻报道,Duke大学最近得到历史上最大一笔个人捐款$50M。
Durham, N.C. — A Duke University trustee has donated $50 million to the
school to create an endowment for need-based financial aid for
undergraduates, Duke President Richard Brodhead announced Monday.
This gift by Bruce Karsh and his wife, Martha, is the largest individual
donation to support financial aid in Duke’s history.
“We are deeply grateful to the Karshes for this remarkable gift and for the
way they have championed one of the university’s highest priorities,”
Brodhead said in a statement. “This gift helps safeguard our commitment to
keeping a Duke education accessible to students from a wide range of
backgrounds, even as the economy continues to recover. It also opens our
door further to the best and brightest students from around the world,
creating a richer learning environment for all Duke students.”
The donation includes $30 million for U.S. students and $20 million for
international students. More than half of Duke's undergraduates receive some
form of financial assistance from the university.
The Karshes have designated $5 million to create a “KIPP at Duke”
endowment that will provide financial aid for tuition, program enrichment,
advising and other support for graduates of the Knowledge Is Power Program,
a network of college-track public elementary and secondary schools in
underserved communities nationwide.
The gift will also add $15 million to the existing Karsh Scholarship Fund
for financial aid for U. S. students and will also create a $10 million
dollar-for-dollar challenge to encourage other donors to establish their own
need-based undergraduate scholarships for U.S. students.
The remaining $20 million will be dedicated to expanding and strengthening
the Karsh International Scholars Program, which launched this year. This
gift doubles their 2008 gift of $20 million that established the program.
The first group of Karsh International Scholars includes nine students from
Nepal, Ethiopia, Kenya, Pakistan, Spain, Ukraine, Ecuador, Vietnam and
Zimbabwe. In addition to having their full financial need met, Karsh
Scholars are eligible for summer research funding to enhance their
educational experience.
“(Financial aid) makes a crucial difference to the individual recipients
and enhances the intellectual and cultural diversity of the university
community. Moreover, it helps develop the pool of talent needed to grapple
with an increasingly complex and global world,” Bruce Karsh, a 1977 Duke
graduate, said in a statement.
“Martha and I believe strongly that motivated, talented students, whether
from underserved communities in the U.S or from around the globe, should be
able to attend a great university like Duke, which can nurture their talent
and help them reach their potential," he said.
Karsh is president of Oaktree Capital Management, a global investment
management company he co-founded in Los Angeles in 1995. He also is chairman
of DUMAC LLC, which manages Duke's endowment.
Martha Karsh is an attorney and co-founder of Clark & Karsh, an architecture
, design and development firm in Los Angeles.
