Half of the donation will go to Tougaloo to fund its endowment and need-based scholarships for high-achieving students; the other $5 million will establish the Brown-Tougaloo Partnership Scholarship Fund as part of Brown University’s endowment and provide support for Tougaloo students who come to Brown, whether to pursue a graduate or medical degree or through an academic exchange program.
“The remarkable personal gift to the historic Brown-Tougaloo Partnership from philanthropists Reed Hastings and Patricia Quillin will transform the lives of Tougaloo College students,” said Tougaloo president Carmen J. Walters. “This donation, setting a new precedent as the largest gift to the Brown-Tougaloo Partnership, is a living testimony to their strong belief in the value of giving, the value of education and the value of HBCUs.
Adds Brown University president Christina H. Paxson, “Brown and Tougaloo share a deeply held commitment to preparing graduates to make a positive impact in their communities. Our shared ideals serve as an unbreakable foundation for a 58-year-old partnership that has yielded important insights for students and scholars, infused both campuses with new perspectives and provided life-changing experiences for Tougaloo and Brown students.
