Imran Khan (BSBA 00) Investing in scholarships is investing in the future, says Imran Khan (BSBA 00), of his recent $1.25 million gift to the University of Denver to support student scholarships.
Khan, a DU alumnus and CEO of Verishop, made the transformational gift because of the lasting impact that scholarships have on students who will be known as Khan Family Scholars and on the University of Denver itself. “Scholarships meet students’ current financial need, giving them opportunities to receive a first-class education and jump-start their careers,” Khan says. “They also enrich the college experience for all DU students, allowing the University to recruit the best and brightest from a talented and diverse pool of students.” Khan added that the need for such opportunities is particularly strong now with the COVID-19 pandemic and the socioeconomic challenges it has brought.
