University of Kansas given $2 million gift from graduate
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — A University of Kansas graduate is giving the school $2 million to endow a scholarship in the School of Law and a research fund in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
The university announced the gift from William Bradley Jr. to the KU Endowment on Wednesday.
The money will provide $1 million for the Bradley Family Scholarship for law school students. The other $1 million will endow the Bradley Family Research Excellence Fund, which will provide awards to faculty in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences whose research involves undergraduates.
Bradley earned a bachelor's degree in English in 1977 and a law degree in 1980. He eventually became the third-largest individual shareholder in NIC Inc.
