Kevin Durant commits $10M to help disadvantaged kids attend college

Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant has designs on life far beyond the game of basketball.

Durant committed $10 million toward the construction and operation of a local chapter of College Track, which helps send underprivileged students to college, according to Thomas Heath of The Washington Post.

The school is being built in his hometown of Prince George's County, and is slated to open later this year. College Track will offer tutoring and financial aid to students over a 10-year period.

"We didn't have the resources to get our minds thinking about the next level," Durant said. "I want to do my part, whatever it is. If College Track students want to be the next Steve Jobs or the next influencer or the next tastemakers, they can get there. ...

"Coming back to the neighborhood and showing them the experiences you went through, coming back and showing them what you've seen. You start the upward cycle."
