Cailey Gleeson, News Editor|March 5, 2021
DePaul alumnus George L. Ruff and his wife Tanya S. Ruff have donated $21 million to the university to fund scholarships and the DePaul’s Institute of Global Homelessness which is set to be renamed the George and Tanya Ruff Institute of Global Homelessness according to a Friday morning Newsline release.
The George L. and Tanya S. Ruff Endowed Scholarship will support “low-income students, students of color, first-generation college students and current members or veterans of the United States armed services.”
Part of the scholarship funds have been made immediately available by the Ruffs as part of the university’s Now We Must campaign, for which Mr. Ruff serves on the committee.
