Kenny Jastrow Endowed Scholarship Receives $1 Million

In honor of Kenny Jastrow’s 29 years of service to Temple-Inland, the company donated $500,000 to the McCombs School endowed scholarship bearing his name. Dean George Gau contributed an additional $500,000 in matching funds, bringing the overall value of the scholarship to approximately $1 million.

“Kenny is a wonderful friend and supporter of the McCombs School,” Gau said. “We are delighted to receive this donation from Temple-Inland in recognition of Kenny’s outstanding leadership.”
