College can be expensive for many families, but one local college is getting a huge donation to help students deal with rising costs.
Hood College, an independent liberal arts college in Frederick, Maryland, just received a $54 million donation from the Hodson Trust, the largest donation in the institution’s history.
College president Andrea Chapdelaine told WTOP that the trust was founded by Col. Clarence Hodson in the late 1800s and has been donating money to four colleges in Maryland since the early 1900s.
