from the article:
The College of Music will receive $10 million:
$5 million for endowed professorships and chairs in music
$3 million to fund touring and recording opportunities for students
$2 million for highly sought-after, competitive scholarships in music
The College of Engineering will receive $6.5 million:
$5 million to create the Charn Uswachoke Center for Energy Efficient Materials, a center that will help UNT and its materials science and engineering department become a leader in energy-related materials research.
$1.5 million to create an endowed professorship in materials science and engineering to attract a top researcher to head the center.
The College of Business will receive $5.5 million:
$5 million to fund the Charn Uswachoke Scholarships for Study Abroad for undergraduate and MBA students
$500,000 to establish the Charn Uswachoke Graduate Suite in the new Business Leadership Building
It should also be noted that in the article it states that "Some of Uswachoke's pledged gift dollars are expected to qualify for matching funds under the state's program to help emerging research universities, such as UNT, become national research universities, which would further boost the impact of his pledge."
From the bottom of our hearts.... we the Mean Green Nation thank you so much Mr. Uswachoke! It's a great day to be part of the UNT Family and Go Mean Green!
