Last night, Oprah was at UMass Lowell and helped raise $3 million to launch the Oprah Winfrey Scholarship Fund! UMass Lowell had already raised $1.5 million through ticket sales and sponsorships for the event to see Oprah, but there was more to be made that night.  “I would like to match the $1.5 million so that students like yourselves can continue in the path in the greatest, purest, truest expressions of themselves,” Oprah said during the event.
