Indian-American Couple Establishes UH Scholarship
With the recent donation, the program will be able to offer as many as 200 more merit-based scholarships to noteworthy freshmen.
Established through an anonymous USD 7 million donation, the programme was bolstered by a challenge Khator issued to the UH community, in which new scholarship contributions (of USD 25,000 or more) are matched dollar-for-dollar.
Creation of a powerful USD 14 million scholarship endowment is well within reach, as generous donors have helped move the University within USD 500,000 of achieving the match goal.
Each donor gift to date was vital in helping the University attract the 181 tier one scholars currently on campus, said Paula Myrick Short, senior vice chancellor/senior vice president and provost.
The gift from the Khators "provides additional cache, boosting recruiting efforts that could result in even more of the best and brightest students choosing UH over other institutions," she said.
The tier one scholarship programme's benefits extend far beyond financial assistance, which includes all tuition and mandatory fees for up to four years of undergraduate study.
