Spelman College is getting another substantial funding boost from billionaire philanthropist MacKenzie Scott.
The private, all-women’s historically Black college in Atlanta announced Monday that Scott was gifting the school $38 million. It’s the second time in five years the college has gotten a donation from Scott; in 2020, she gave Spelman $20 million while gifting another $20 million to nearby Morehouse College and then $15 million to Clark Atlanta University months later.
