John E. Reissner Memorial Scholarship

The Donors wish to honor their husband and father by establishing a scholarship in his memory. A professor emeritus in the Department of Chemistry and Physics, Dr. John Reissner joined the UNCP faculty in 1976 and continued to teach in the phased retirement program until his death in April 2006. Dr. Reissner was dedicated to sharing the wonder of science with his students. The recipients of this scholarship will demonstrate an eagerness for knowledge and enthusiasm for learning, especially in the sciences. The ideal candidates will demonstrate a commitment to kindness, community service and/or the welfare of others. The recipients of the John E. Reissner Memorial Scholarship will be residents of North Carolina with a declared or intended major in Chemistry at The University of North Carolina at Pembroke. Recipients must maintain a 3.0 GPA and be full-time undergraduate students, of demonstrated financial need, in the sophomore, junior, or senior year of study. The award is renewable.
