The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) has received an unrestricted gift of $40 million from philanthropists MacKenzie Scott and Dan Jewett, who say they chose the Hispanic serving institution for its commitment to students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
“As a public, urban serving university with limited resources, this generous gift will go a long way in enabling UTSA to create life-changing opportunities for its students and to prepare a diverse pipeline of professionals for the workforce,” said UTSA Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Kimberly Andrews Espy.
