| The Ford Motor Company will contribute $2.5 million over a five-year period to IU’s Kelley School of Business. The money will assist the Kelley School in creating a new high-tech auditorium, support recruitment and retention of faculty and students through fellowships and scholarships, and help the school to maintain curricula through departmental grants.
Funds also will support programs that attract and retain women and under-represented minorities and provide students with skills to manage the future workforce.
IU is one of 31 schools included in Ford’s College Relations Sponsor Program (CRSP). As a CRSP school, IU will receive annual contributions supporting an approved five-year business plan. Ford established its CRSP activity in 1998 to develop a closer working relationship with key colleges and universities across the country.
