Eight incoming engineering students have been awarded the latest round of scholarships as part of the Reynolds and Reynolds Leadership Scholars Program<\/a> at Wright State University.<\/p>\n

The students, who will enter Wright State\u2019s College of Engineering and Computer Science<\/a> in the fall, are high achieving high school graduates from around the state. The scholarship awards were announced April 27 during the college\u2019s annual awards ceremony at the Student Union Apollo Room.<\/p>\n

Since creating the Reynolds Scholars Program in 2009, Reynolds has provided $740,000 in scholarship funding awarded to 74 incoming students enrolled in computer science and computer engineering programs at Wright State. Each student receives a $10,000 award payable throughout the four years of their academic program.<\/p>\n

Each new cohort of scholars is hosted by Reynolds and Reynolds for a tour of the Reynolds campus and the opportunity to meet employees in key leadership roles. The visit includes an in-depth look at Reynold\u2019s unique Customer Innovation Center.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Reynolds and Reynolds Leadership Scholars Program has made it possible for the Wright State University College of Engineering and Computer Science to recruit top students from Raider Country,\u201d said Pete Williams, director of development and external relations for the college. \u201cThe generosity and vision of the Reynolds and Reynolds Foundation has helped create a stronger college and future workforce for the Miami Valley.\u201d<\/p>\n
