Dell family foundation to donate $60 million for UT medical school, local health care
The Michael & Susan Dell Foundation has pledged to donate $50 million to a planned medical school at the University of Texas and $10 million to improve access to local health care and the quality of that care.
The school will be named the Dell Medical School.
A formal announcement is scheduled for Wednesday evening at the foundation’s headquarters in West Austin.
The $50 million, to be paid at the rate of $5 million a year for 10 years, will bring the Dell family foundation’s contributions to the Austin flagship to more than $100 million. Previous gifts include $38 million to help underwrite the Dell Pediatric Research Institute.
