Higher education[ edit]The Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation funds college study groups called Koch Scholars who gather and read "an assortment of select books, movies, and podcasts surrounding the principles of a free society." [14] Such groups exist at the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business at Utah State University [14] and the University of Alaska Fairbanks.[ citation needed] As of 2014, the Charles Koch Foundation has given grants to almost 300 colleges and universities, per their website. [15]

the $25 million grant made in June to the United Negro College Fund were accepted—which leaders of each institution publicly defended.

Michael Lomax, president and chief executive of the United Negro College Fund, said through his spokesman that criticism for accepting the Koch gift was a small price to pay to help children realize their dreams of a college education.
