Record $100m donation to the University of Sydney

Tech Founder Robin Khuda has funded nearly $100 million from the Khuda Foundation to the University of Sydney. This is recorded to be the largest ever amount of funds to be received by any of the universities in New South Wales. The donation is directed towards encouraging young women to enroll in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.) The funds will go towards the two-decade program to support women studying and employed in STEM jobs.
 

Mark Scott, the vice-chancellor of the University of Sydney, said that he and Robin Khuda had consulted for two years to devise the program. Robin Khuda had earlier donated $22m to over 300 of his employees after he acquired a $24 billion acquisition from a US firm. Khuda chose the University of Sydney because it has a strong research, academic, and teaching reputation.
