Goal
Providing more scholarships to level the playing field for students limited by financial circumstance. Research shows that 42 percent of students are likely to withdraw from college due to lack of finances. Most Reynolds students work more than 20 hours per week.
$3,218,257
$4,000,000
Closing the digital divide for students to equip them with the technological tools needed for today’s learning environment. Computer proficiency is a must in today’s workforce and our students will keep pace with other college graduates.
$75,000
$200,000
Developing a new campus in Henrico County’s east end, known as an Academic Village, offering a seamless educational transition for students. Reynolds will serve as the anchor for partnerships with local K-12 school systems, including four-year colleges and universities, to deliver lifelong educational opportunities.
