Paul Newman is donating $10 million to Kenyon College to help start a scholarship fund, the private liberal arts school said.

Yay for nice old rich guys

Kenyon was already on the list, and this makes me happier

Does anyone know if the Newman's Own scholarships will be need-based, merit-based, or a combination of both? Either way, it is a truly commendable gift by the Newmans....wouldn't it be great if other celebs that had the formative experience Newman spoke of at their alma mater would follow suit?

Hey Rachacha---

I believe it's a combo of merit and need. I recieved a scholarship and i'm so happy that i've recieved one!! They said it was because of my strong desire to make a difference in the world and to "help me attend Kenyon."
