Six years later, the West Otago farmer s decision to not seek re-election in this year s farmer director elections for Silver Fern Farms Co-operative was also about timing.

The school said that Scott’s gift will also help the university provide more educational opportunities to students from vulnerable populations and bolster scholarships funds that are designed to help students facing financial hurdles.
“This gift illustrates the worthiness of Lincoln University. I hope that other philanthropists will join Ms. Scott s commitment to investing in the University s mission and ability to educate students from vulnerable populations to achieve a lifetime of success,” said Dwight Taylor, who serves as the chairman of the Lincoln University Foundation of Pennsylvania.
Scott, who was formerly married to Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos, announced on Tuesday that she donated over $4 billion to 384 organizations across the country during the last four months.
