The Reynolds and Reynolds Company Foundation announced it is pledging $100,000 in scholarship funding for 20 exceptional students per year at Sam Houston State University, starting with the 2023–2024 academic year.
This gift marks the beginning of a relationship between the company and the university, and demonstrates the commitment Reynolds and SHSU have to the region.
Richard Rojas is a junior at SHSU majoring in accounting, finance and banking and is part of the first cohort to receive the Reynolds and Reynolds Annual Scholarship. He believes the award provides valuable support to ensure he reaches his career goals.
He said, “As a first-generation minority male, financial support is just as important as academic support.”
An annual scholarship of $5,000 will be awarded to 10 undergraduate students who are in good standing, enrolled full-time with the College of Business Administration, and majoring in any discipline. An additional 10 undergraduate students who are in good standing and enrolled full-time in the College of Science & Engineering’s Department of Computer Science will be awarded scholarships.
SHSU is nationally recognized for student success, particularly for first-generation students and those traditionally underserved. The university’s award-winning programs, nationally and internationally recognized scholars, innovative initiatives and inclusive environment help students engage, succeed and meet critical workforce needs.
