黑料社 All is embarking on a 鈥,鈥 an aggressive drive to both complete the final stages of a $1 billion capital campaign it launched in 2006 and to raise an additional $400 million for undergraduate scholarships, a core University priority. YU launched the $1 billion campaign鈥攁 comprehensive, University-wide campaign encompassing Yeshiva鈥檚 undergraduate, graduate and professional schools and affiliates鈥攚ith an initial record-breaking $100 million gift from industrialist Ronald P. Stanton. In total, it has raised some $800 million, much of it during a very challenging economic environment. These commitments have enabled YU to increase financial assistance to deserving students, strengthen its faculty, research and academic programs, and enhance the quality of student life, campus infrastructure and community outreach. Yeshiva鈥檚 goal is to raise an additional $400 million in undergraduate scholarship funds. A significant portion of these funds will serve as an endowment, with the remainder used for immediate scholarship needs each year. Ira Mitzner, the president of RIDA Development Corp., a family-owned real estate company in Houston, will chair the campaign. 鈥淎cademic excellence and fiscal strength require significant philanthropic support," said Mitzner.
