$100K gift to KU sets up scholarship
A new $100,000 gift to the Kansas University School of Medicine will establish a new scholarship for medical students, with a preference for black students.
Hugo Zee, who earned a bachelor’s degree from KU in 1954 and a medical degree from KU in 1958, donated the funds for the scholarship with his wife, Nora Dougherty Zee.
Zee emigrated to the U.S. from the Netherlands after World War II and wanted his money to “do some good,” he said in a statement from KU.
It’s another in the ongoing donations for “Far Above: The Campaign for Kansas,” which kicks off publicly next month.
