    Default McGovern Scholarship Fund Established

    $13.5 million!

    What a gift!

    I'm probably more impressed with the benefactor: http://mcmconstructioninc.com/about-...xecutive-team/

    The guy helped build this:

    Many thousands are in want of common necessaries; hundreds of thousands are in want of common comforts, sir."
    Scrooge-"Are there no prisons?". "Plenty of prisons..."
    Scrooge-"And the Union workhouses." . "Are they still in operation?". "Both very busy, sir..."
    "Those who are badly off must go there."
    "Many can't go there; and many would rather die."
    Scrooge- "If they would rather die," "they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population."

    What an incredible gift. Future students will be honored to receive a scholarship from the endowment.

    This a huge deal for the STEM programs. Will end up being $14.7 million with the state matching $1.2 million. That's awesome!
