The scholarship is funded by an endowment created by four sisters, including two Longhorn alumnae, in honor of their late father Khalid Abdul Mehdi “Al” Alhilali. Khalid excelled in school from an early age in Baghdad. After completing his undergraduate studies at the Imperial College in London on a full scholarship, he moved to the United States to attend graduate school at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Alhilali believed in the significance of education to achieving one’s dreams, and in the importance of supporting others as one achieves success.
