The University of Notre Dame’s Mendoza College of Business announced the Angrick Military Scholars Program, backed by a $15 million endowment from alumnus Bill Angrick to cover costs that the GI Bill and Yellow Ribbon benefits often miss. Senior Associate Dean Nick Berente framed the gift as a response to military students who face family and living‑expense pressures despite tuition coverage. The program is designed to reduce financial barriers for veterans and active‑duty personnel entering MBA programs and signals a growing trend of targeted philanthropic investments to boost veteran recruitment and completion rates in business and professional graduate programs.
