Chicago Tribune, February 17, 2016: University of Chicago gets $50 million boost to programs for low-income students
“Writer Harriet Heyman and her husband, venture capitalist Michael Moritz, have donated $50 million to expand University of Chicago programs for low-income students, the university announced Wednesday. The donation provides half of the funding needed for an enhancement of the university’s Odyssey Scholarship Program and Collegiate Scholars Program, which helps CPS students prepare and apply for college. Heyman and Moritz are challenging other donors to match their contribution within the next five years.”
