Morgan State University’s president says Mackenzie Scott’s donation will allow the HBCU to reach new heights “without losing our soul.”
Philanthropist MacKenzie Scott puts her money where her mouth is when it comes to supporting HBCUs. And this time, she’s pouring her support into Morgan State University. The billionaire philanthropist announced a jaw-dropping $63 million unrestricted gift to Morgan State, the school’s largest donation and her second major donation to the Baltimore HBCU in under five years. Add that to her historic $40 million contribution in 2020, and Scott’s $70 million donation to the UNCF’s effort to strengthen historically Black colleges and universities.
