McKinney presented a check for $1,085,988 to Lebanese American University (LAU) President Dr. Joseph Jabbra at the LAU Campus in Byblos on May 27, 2009. This check is part of the $2,315,000 grant that the Lebanese American University received from USAID for academic year 2008-2009. 494 Lebanese students enrolled at the University benefited from this grant by receiving an American style education. USAID’s scholarship assistance will help increase these students’ chances at finding job opportunities upon graduation. During the meeting, Mr. McKinney met with a number of students who received USAID financial aid assistance.
