- Billionaire and Republican megadonor is funding scholarships for students at closing Philly schools
Jeffrey Yass, a Pennsylvania billionaire, is funding scholarships through the Yass Prize for Philadelphia students affected by school closures. The initiative offers $8,000 annual scholarships to 500 students to attend vetted private schools. Critics argue the program diverts students from public schools, which they claim undermines public education funding.
