The "absolutely staggering" donation paid for a computing lab at Claremont McKenna in California, where the PM's wife Akshata Murty studied economics and French as an undergraduate. Fees are $86,500 a year for tuition and board.
Its hi-tech facility with top-of-therange computers and state-of-the-art chairs at £650 a throw is named the Murty Sunak Quantitative and Computing Lab in the couple's honour.
Their names appear on a sign outside and on the door. The donation in 2018 came three years after Mr Sunak became MP for Richmond in North Yorkshire.
It was previously reported he and his wife Out-of-te gives a f US colle UK pare: for schoc ...it's sta gave more than £100,000 to his old public school, Winchester College.
Claremont McKenna has a $1.1billion fortune thanks to benefactors - a sum beyond the wildest dreams of schools in Mr Sunak's own patch. Leyburn Primary, for example, had to put on a family fun day to buy computers.
The Parents, Teachers and Friends Association has raised £5,000, enough for nine computers to replace 15-yearold machines. But it needs another £10,000 to get 18 more so every pupil in a class can use one at the same time.
Mel Wise, chair of the PTFA, said: "It's a joke. Like Whitney Houston would say, the children are our future. Why are we not investing in them more?" The PTFA is holding a midsummer ball this month to raise further cash. Mr Sunak has said he is unable to attend but has offered to provide a raffle prize.
