"Brown University has received a $20 million donation that will provide full scholarships to military veterans and support a plan to double the number of veterans enrolled as undergraduates, the school announced Wednesday.
The donation comes from Joseph P. Healey, a U.S. Army veteran and co-founder of the New York investment firm HealthCor. Healey is a parent to two Brown students, and his mother graduated from the Ivy League school.
University President Christina H. Paxson announced the donation during an annual Veterans Day ceremony that was held virtually because of the pandemic. Paxson said the donation marked a ‘major step’ for the school’s efforts to support veterans.
‘As the University has expanded military partnerships and more veterans have pursued undergraduate degrees at Brown, we have pledged to expand support for these exceptional students,’ Paxson said in a written statement." …
Thank you, Joseph P. Healey, for your generous $20 million donation to Brown University. Your support for military veterans and the goal to double their enrollment is truly inspiring and impactful.
