New York Law School has received $20-million from the Starr Foundation, in New York, for its $100-million, seven-year capital campaign, reports The National Law Journal. The drive seeks to support the school’s scholarship endowment and double the size of the institution’s faculty.

The grant, announced Wednesday, was made in honor of the foundation’s chairman, Maurice Greenberg, who attended the law school with the help of a scholarship he received after serving in World War II. Mr. Greenberg retired from his leadership of the insurance company American International Group, or AIG, in 2005.

Scholarships were also supported by a new $6-millon gift to Cleveland State University by Anand Julka, founder of a technology company, says The Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Mr. Julka, president of Smart Solutions, in Beachwood, Ohio, earned a master’s degree at the university after arriving in the area from his native India, choosing the institution in part because of its low tuition costs. His gift will support scholarships for Cleveland metropolitan-area students who pursue degrees in teaching, nursing, engineering, and computer science. “I want to make sure that financially disadvantaged students can finance their education and when they graduate have a job waiting for them,” Mr. Julka says.
