LOWELL, Mass. (AP) - Oscar-winning actress Meryl Streep is appearing at the University of Massachusetts-Lowell to speak to students and raise money for scholarships.
Streep will be interviewed by bestselling author and UMass-Lowell English professor Andre Dubus III on Tuesday. She will also take questions from the audience of 3,500 at the Tsongas Arena.
All net proceeds from the event - including a raffle of a director's chair autographed by Streep - will go toward scholarship funds, one for an English major and one for a math major.
Streep was originally scheduled to appear at the school in February, but that was postponed because of a snowstorm.
Streep has been nominated for 18 Oscars, and won three, most recently in 2012 for her portrayal of Margaret Thatcher in "The Iron Lady."
