And also contributing $100k/year for the next 5 years to Mayor Kapszukiewicz's plan to provide universal day care to all 4 year olds in the city. What an incredible gift to those students and parents.

Mr. Kadens figures his gift will cost him $3.5 million, which is extremely generous. At current costs that will pay for the education of 17 Scott graduates and a parent/guardian at the University of Toledo.

In any case, some education is better than none, and his gift will change the lives of some families.

Well, Scott is a public school, and the deal is only good at a Ohio public college, university, or trade school, as well as Eastern Michigan University and Lourdes University. So the only nongovernmental school involved is Lourdes University in Toledo.

Hopefully the majority will take best advantage of this incredibly generous gift by using it to set themselves up for a career (i.e. no "Lesbian Dance Theory" majors and lots of trade school attendees).
