Olin Business School Centennial Scholarship Challenge

Jerry Kent, BSBA ’78, MBA ’79, and his wife, Judy, have generously established a $1 million scholarship challenge in honor of Olin Business School’s centennial. Through this challenge, the Kents hope to inspire alumni, parents, and friends to help support talented Olin students by making a contribution to scholarships. The challenge will double or triple the impact of your gift and make an immeasurable difference in the lives of Olin students.

Nearly 50 percent of undergraduate and graduate students need financial assistance to attend Olin Business School at Washington University. The business school is projected to award $18.9 million in scholarships for its students, and approximately 23 percent of those funds come from scholarship endowment and gifts. The remainder comes from Olin’s operating budget.

About the Kents

Judy and Jerry Kent are dedicated benefactors of undergraduate students at Olin Business School. They sponsor the Judy and Jerry Kent Scholarship Fund, which currently provides partial- to full-tuition scholarships for 18 BSBA students.

“Both of our families worked very hard to send us to college, and I couldn’t have attended Washington University without the scholarship support I received,” Jerry says. “Judy took out loans and worked three part-time jobs to get through school. Today we are grateful to be able to help Olin students benefit from a world-class education at Washington University.”

Jerry is the chief executive officer of Cequel III, the telecommunications management firm he co-founded in January 2002. He also serves as CEO of TierPoint, a data center and cloud computing service with more than two dozen data centers around the nation. He sold his cable company, Suddenlink, to European telecom company Altice SA. He is a member of the Washington University Board of Trustees and serves on the Olin Business School National Council.
