Marshall University president gives $50M to wipe out student debt: How it happens and who benefits
Marshall University President Brad D. Smith and his wife, Alys Smith, have donated $50 million to support the Marshall For All programme, which aims to eliminate student debt. The gift, the largest in the university’s history, will help students graduate without loans by combining financial aid, work experience, and family support. The initiative currently supports West Virginia students and plans to expand university-wide by 2037, as reported by the Associated Press.
