The Netflix co-CEO's gift will support the university's long-term growth and provide scholarships to students with financial need.
Hastings says the university’s rapid growth from concept to accreditation, now with 600 students and 600 alumni, have put it on a trajectory to dramatically increase its global impact.
“The more stories I hear about Minerva students and alumni, the more I am convinced that Minerva University should scale to create opportunities for more bold and purposeful students with promising trajectories,” said Hastings in a statement Thursday. “Minerva graduates have a depth of global cultural understanding, intellectual skills that cross disciplines, and problem-solving abilities unique to higher education.
Minerva’s founder Ben Nelson said, the school “proves that the world’s most exceptional education can be accessible at half the cost of most selective U.S. universities to students from diverse socio-economic backgrounds from around the world” and Hastings’ gift will allow “many more students to obtain the best university education possible.”
In the announcement, Minerva notes that it was named the world’s most innovative university in 2022 by
