$5 million commitment announced to MU College of Business

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

The University of Missouri announced a $5 million commitment from Pinney Allen and family to the Trulaske College of Business. The gift will establish the Allen Access Program to support under-resourced and underrepresented students in the College of Business through scholarships and programs.

“The Allen Access Program will create more opportunities for students who want to take advantage of Mizzou’s world-class business education programs,” said Mun Y. Choi, president of the University of Missouri. “This kind of support from our community highlights the impact that Mizzou has far and wide.”

On top of the $5 million commitment, the College of Business is seeking to raise an additional $12 million over 10 years to further support the Allen Access Program and the college’s inclusion, diversity and equity efforts.

“Every student deserves support to help build their own success story,” Pinney Allen said. “With this gift, we hope to make success at Mizzou a reality for many. Equally, we hope to inspire other great Mizzou supporters to join us in building that reality for even more.”
