The University of Evansville has received a $1 million gift to establish the Collier Family Endowed Scholarship Fund. The fund is designed to provide a four-year, $10,000 annual scholarship to undergraduate students at UE.
The gift comes from the family of the late Reginald and Lois Collier, founders of Research Systems Corp., a television advertising research company in Evansville.
“The University of Evansville is stronger and better because of those who give so selflessly. Today, we celebrate Reginald and Lois Collier, the legacy they built in our community, and the difference they made during their lifetime,” UE Vice President for University Advancement Abigail Werling said in a news release. “We at UE are also appreciative of their treasure left behind that will have a lasting impact for countless people through the Collier Family Endowed Scholarship.”
The university said the scholarship will continue to provide for future students, making higher education more accessible.
