When Peter Stylianos graduated from New Hampshire's Nashua High School South in 1963, he headed to the University of New Hampshire to study electronics.

Fifty years later, he's giving back in a big way.

Stylianos recently announced he's giving $1 million to create an endowment for a scholarship to be awarded in perpetuity to generations of Nashua High graduates, the New Hampshire Union Leader reports.

"It gives me immense joy...

to provide financial support and encouragement via STEM scholarships to talented and deserving innovators," Stylianos said in a statement.

He's referring to science, technology, engineering, and math.

The New Hampshire Charitable Foundation, which administers the scholarship funds, says Stylianos' gift "is the most powerful tool, a key that opens doors to a life of opportunity and possibilities."

Steve Doris, the reunion committee chairman, tells the Union Leader that Stylianos and his late classmate, real estate investor and developer Richard Cabral, were among the first contributors to the scholarship fund started by the Class of 1963.

Cabral, who died in 2017, was among the first to donate $50,000, and the Class of 1963 has since added a second scholarship in Cabral's honor.
