Ken Griffin has given $300 million to Harvard University, his biggest gift ever to his alma mater, per Bloomberg.

The founder of Citadel and Citadel Securities has now donated more than $500 million to the Ivy League school.

In recognition of that support, the university will soon grant its master’s and PhD degrees from the newly renamed Harvard Kenneth C. Griffin Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, per Bloomberg.

It follows a $150 million donation from Griffin in 2014 to bolster financial aid, which is still the largest single gift to undergraduate assistance and Harvard College.

Notably, Ken Griffin has donated to numerous politicians, as well.
