President Donald Trump has donated part of his salary to the U.S. Department of Education.

Spokesperson Sarah Huckabee Sanders handed Education Secretary Betsy DeVos a check for $100,000.

It will help fund a STEM-focused camp for students.

“I want to start by saying how grateful I am to the President for this generous gift. The President is committed to our nation's  students and to reforming education in America so that every child, no matter their ZIP code, has access to a high-quality education," Secretary DeVos said.
