Whole lotta cash for scholarships

Associated Press – Wed, Feb 29, 2012
LONDON (AP) — With a little help from Led Zeppelin, the widow of Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun has donated more than 26 million pounds ($41 million) to Oxford University to fund humanities scholarships for graduate students.
On Wednesday the university announced the Mica and Ahmet Ertegun Graduate Scholarship Program, which will initially fund 15 annual international scholarships for the study of subjects including literature, history, music, art history, Asian studies, Middle Eastern studies and archaeology.
That will rise to at least 35 scholarships a year.
The university said the donation is one of the biggest in its 900-year history.
