Local philanthropist and longtime university supporter, Harvey E. Najim, has committed $5 million to provide scholarship support for students who qualify for Bold Promise, a tuition program that ensures students have 100% of their tuition and mandatory fees covered for up to four academic years under maintained eligibility.
Najim’s latest investment will provide an additional scholarship that will support student financial needs beyond tuition and fees.
The gift will establish the Harvey Najim Bold Promise Scholarship and recipients, Najim Bold Promise Scholars, will be able to utilize their scholarships to support housing, books, meals, transportation and other costs students incur while attending college. The commitment will provide $500,000 annually for 10 years, creating sustained scholarship support and long-term opportunities for students.
Najim has a long history of supporting students across UT San Antonio and its academic health center and health system, UT Health San Antonio. His philanthropic support has totaled over $25 million to advance student programs and initiatives.
