A portion of the gift will enhance the Walter Lee McCombs Endowed Scholarship Fund in the College of Law, providing scholarships to law students. The majority of the donation will establish the Katherine F. McCombs and Walter Lee McCombs Transformative Impact Fund, supporting students with tuition, room, board, and other fees.

In recognition of the donors, CSU’s outdoor plaza will be renamed in their honour. CSU President Laura Bloomberg expressed gratitude, saying, “CSU made a lasting impact on the life of Walter McCombs, and thanks to his and his wife Katherine’s decision to pay it forward, many of our high-need students will have the resources they need to remain focused on their degree program.”
