Bowie State University said it has raised $50 million to support scholarships, building renovations and other initiatives at the historically Black college.
Bowie State University said Tuesday that it has raised $50 million to support scholarships, building renovations and other initiatives at the oldest historically Black college in Maryland.
The fundraising effort, dubbed “BSU Bold: The Campaign for Excellence,” is the largest in the university’s history, and Bowie State officials said they met their goal more than two years ahead of schedule.
One of the projects under the campaign includes renovations to the basketball court at A.C. Jordan Arena courtesy of Kevin Durant and the Durant Family Foundation, which“Our fans are going to be treated to a brand-new fan experience because of the renovations on the inside of the basketball facility,” said Brent Swinton, Bowie State’s vice president for institutional advancement.
Meanwhile, “infrastructure remains a concern for our university — for many HBCUs,” said Breaux. “As we have fallen behind with investing in the upgrades, the university has about a $75 million deferred maintenance goal to meet‚ and that’s a long way off.” A big boost for the campaign was philanthropist MacKenzie Scott’s $25 million donation in 2020, Bowie State’s largest single private gift.
