Philanthropist MacKenzie Scott announced another round of large, unrestricted gifts to community and regional colleges, including $24 million to Robeson Community College and multimillion‑dollar awards to institutions in Oklahoma and Minnesota. Recipients said the funds will support strategic planning, scholarships, sustainability and community engagement projects. Scott’s rapid, sizable gifts continue to reshape resource expectations at small public colleges and tribal institutions, providing breathing room for leaders to invest in retention and program innovation without the donor‑driven reporting requirements that often accompany large gifts.
