Hearst Foundation Gives $100,000 To TWU For Student/Parent Endowment

4/18/02

DENTON — The William Randolph Hearst Foundation has awarded Texas Woman's University a $100,000 grant which will double the size of the William Randolph Hearst Endowed Scholarship for Student/Parents at the university.

“The generosity of the Hearst Foundation demonstrates its commitment to ensuring access to higher education to nontraditional students,” said TWU Chancellor and President Dr. Ann Stuart. “The William Randolph Hearst Endowment offers a lifeline to many student-parents who would otherwise be unable to attend Texas Woman's University.”

The Hearst Foundation made its original $100,000 endowment grant to TWU about 10 years ago. The new $100,000 grant will bring the Hearst Endowment for Student/Parents to $200,000. A portion of investment income from the endowment is used annually for grants-in-aid and scholarships to single parents attending TWU.
