Earlier this month, the graduates of the historic Wiley College were given a pleasant surprise.
More than 100 students in the 2022 graduating class won’t have to worry about paying their final balances to the Texas-based HBCU after an anonymous donor paid off their dues to the College.
In a statement on the school’s website, the renowned College that was founded in 1873 and was the subject of the 2007 hit movie The Great Debaters starring Denzel Washington, outlined the contributions of the anonymous donor.
“The estimated total for balances owed to the College by the graduating class of 2022 is $300,000.00. The anonymous gift sets graduates on a continued path to success and allows Wiley College to strengthen its commitment to providing an affordable exceptional education,” according to the Statement. “As Wiley College closes the academic semester and prepares for its Sesquicentennial Celebrations beginning in July, this is a great way to end the semester and start the celebration of 150 years of the College’s contributions to the world.”
