Celebrating excellence. Investing in tomorrow. 

Each year, the Missouri State Foundation hosts the Judith Enyeart Reynolds Scholarship Reception, an evening dedicated to celebrating the students, donors and vision behind one of the university's most transformational scholarship programs. 

Established through a landmark gift from the C.W. Titus Foundation, the Judith Enyeart Reynolds Scholarship honors the legacy of Judith Enyeart Reynolds, who devoted 28 years to Missouri State's English Department and inspired generations of students through her passion for learning and education. 

The scholarship provides outstanding incoming students in the Reynolds College of Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities with a renewable $10,000 annual award for up to four years. At any given time, approximately 60 Reynolds Scholars are pursuing their degrees with the support of this life-changing investment, allowing them to focus on academic achievement, leadership and meaningful campus involvement. 

The annual reception celebrates the accomplishments of current Reynolds Scholars while creating opportunities for students to connect with the donors, university leaders and supporters whose generosity makes their education possible. It is an evening of gratitude, storytelling and shared purpose, highlighting the lasting impact of investing in talented students and the future of Missouri State. 

More than a scholarship, the Judith Enyeart Reynolds Scholarship is an investment in future leaders, educators, artists, communicators and changemakers. The reception serves as a reminder that philanthropy does more than open doors. It empowers students to pursue their ambitions and realize their potential.
