The gift from DePaul University alum and Trustee Gerald Beeson and his wife Jennifer Beeson is one of the largest gifts given to DePaul in its history, according to the school.
The undisclosed amount primarily will fund the Beeson Endowed Scholarship and other scholarship programs at DePaul.
University president Robert Manuel says the Beesons exemplify "DePaul’s Catholic, Vincentian mission with purpose and heart".
