Chairman Bill Gates and his wife are donating $1 billion over the next 20 years to finance college scholarships for minority students. "It is critical to America's future that we draw from the full range of talent and ability to develop the next generation of leaders," Gates said in a statement issued moments before a , news conference at the Bill and .Melinda Gates Foundation. The gift being made through ,' annual investments of $50 million a 'year is the couple's largest single philanthropic contribution and one of the largest ever, matching a $1 billion commitment by CNN founder : Ted Turner to the United Nations. , The Gates Millennium scholarship , program, which will begin next fall, .will provide assistance to 1,000 students each year. The Gateses' goal is "to provide ' financial assistance to high achieving minority students who are in severe financial need and otherwise would be excluded from higher education." The program will be administered by the United Negro College Fund with support and participation by the Hispanic Scholarship Fund and American Indian College Fund. The Gates Foundation focuses on programs in global health and education. The scholarships will be in education, engineering, math and science. Eligible students will be required to have a 3.3 grade-point average and be nominated by a teacher or principal. They must also write an essay about their goals, and commit to performing community service. Winners would get enough money to cover tuition, room and board, and other expenses through college and graduate school. They must maintain 3.0 grade point average. Gates, whose company is the world' s largest producer of computer software, has a net worth of more than $90 billion. Last month, the William H. Gates Foundation and the Gates Learning Foundation merged into the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. It is the largest philanthropic foundation in the United States, with assets of more than $17 million, and second-largest in the world, behind the London based Wellcome Trust. At the time the merger was announced, the Gates foundations had spend or committed $707.4 million, including $322. 1 million for global health projects, $300.7 million for education, $54.7 million for programs in the Pacific Northwest and $29.9 million for other philanthropic efforts. The first Gates Foundation was formed in 1997. Until now, the Gateses largest single donation was $100 mill ion for vaccines for children in developing countries.
