Leonardo DiCaprio to fund scholarship, climate program at UCLA-based elementary school he once attended
"I was fortunate enough to attend the Lab School due to the generous contributions of UCLA donors, and my experience profoundly transformed my worldview," DiCaprio said in a statement to The Associated Press.
The school aims to provide innovative educational techniques for its students - whose ages range from 4 to 12 - that outside teachers can come to study. "This scholarship fund will provide many children access to UCLA Lab School, just as Leo had," said Dr. Eric Esrailian, a professor in UCLA's Health Sciences department and a longtime friend of DiCaprio.
The amount of the donations behind the programs was not made public, but officials said generations of students will be the recipients.
