The University of Missouri has received a $5 million gift that will be used to support students studying at the Trulaske College of Business.
The university announced Thursday the gift will establish the Allen Access Program to provide scholarships and programs for business students in need. The donation is split between $3 million from Pinney Allen and her husband, Charles Miller III, and $2 million from the estate of Allen’s brother, W.D Allen, for whom the program is named.
Pinney Allen and her are not university alumni. W.D. Allen is an adjunct professor at the Trulaske College of Business, where he earned bachelor's and doctoral degrees.
