Chicago Booth announces $24M gift to support veterans in new joint program

From Chicago: University of Chicago student veterans Colin Augustson, Nicholas Golin, and Robert Zamora will be the first cohort of the new Accelerated Booth Scholars Program, thanks to an anonymous $24 million gift announced November 11 to support University of Chicago student veterans.

The Accelerated Booth Scholars Program — part of an ongoing effort to create a pathway for scholars from all walks of life to succeed in their studies and pursue a rewarding career — offers students with a minimum of three years of full-time, pre-college work the opportunity to apply to earn a dual degree in five years.

The gift will provide qualified cohorts of student veterans with financial aid assistance to help cover program costs of the joint AB/MBA degree starting in spring 2023. In addition to scholarship support, these students will receive guidance on academics, internships, and networking opportunities.

“The University of Chicago has long benefited from the tremendous contributions of our veteran scholars,” University President Paul Alivisatos says. “They bring to the university a diversity of backgrounds, experiences and perspectives, and I am delighted to know that this wonderful gift will bolster our efforts to recruit promising veterans and support them in accelerating the pathway toward realizing their educational aspirations.”
