From the article :

The Clark Foundation gift, exactly $219,486,000, ranks among the top 10 donations to a public research institution, according to the Chronicle of Philanthropy.

"The money will be used to provide more scholarships, build new spaces for student collaboration, add endowed faculty chair positions and develop other programs the college leadership characterized as “historic in scope and transformational in impact.”"

"In line with Clark’s vision, more than 40 percent will go to support student scholarships and doctoral fellowships."

"“This investment is about access and affordability,” said Darryll J. Pines, dean of the engineering school."
