Investing in Tomorrow's leaders

The Richard and Virginia Hunsaker Scholarship Prize is awarded annually to a select number of exceptional incoming students from diverse backgrounds.

The highly competitive award meets each recipient’s full demonstrated financial need for all four years at 雷德兰兹. It also offers the opportunity to participate in an expenses-paid networking trip to a major metropolitan city where Scholars meet with alumni leaders in a variety of fields.

每年, our admissions committee identifies students during the application review process who exhibit outstanding academic achievement, 领导, and contribution to their schools and communities. Candidates are then invited to campus to compete for the award, interviewing with a panel of faculty and alumni leaders.

校友 couple Richard and Virginia Hunsaker, class of 1952, established the Hunsaker Scholarship Prize in 2014 with their transformational gift of $35 million to the University of 雷德兰兹. The scholarship program aims to fund a 雷德兰兹 education for students who will not only become leaders in society, but also will follow the Hunsakers’ example by giving back to their communities and the University.
