DBJ: Wright State to create new program and scholarships with $3.6M donation
Wright State University is set to receive a multimillion-dollar gift from a leading provider of automobile dealership software, services and forms to launch a new program and provide scholarships, supporting a host of students pursuing a path in business.
The total donation, a combination of two monetary commitments for students, is one of the largest in the history of the university and will further expand the existing partnership between the university and Dayton-based company.
Wright State will receive the gift, totaling $3.6 million, from Reynolds and Reynolds Company. The money will become the foundation for a new Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for veterans at Wright State and create new scholarships for business students.
Sue Edwards, president of Wright State University, said the gift is one of the largest in the history of the university.
“The Reynolds and Reynolds Company has been a valued corporate partner from Wright State’s earliest days as an institution of higher education,” Edwards said. “We are incredibly grateful for their continued support and look forward to working with them as we launch the Reynolds and Reynolds Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans at Wright State University and the Reynolds Scholars program in the Raj Soin College of Business.”
