T. Boone Pickens Foundation donates $120 million to OSU

Boone Pickens' impact on Oklahoma State continues to grow.

The T. Boone Pickens Foundation made a $120 million donation to the university, OSU president Kayse Shrum announced Tuesday morning in a statement.

Four years after his death in September 2019, the foundation's gift puts Pickens' all-time donations to OSU at nearly $650 million.

“Even today, almost four years after his death, he continues to make an impact through the generosity of his foundation,” Shrum said in a statement. “As a result, a new generation of Oklahoma State students will have access to life-changing scholarships, researchers to world-class facilities, and student-athletes to outstanding academic and athletic facilities.
