A Reinhardt Dean's List student must maintain a 3.5 grade-point average based on successful completion of a minimum of 12 semester credits with no grade less than a B.

Elizabeth Waite and Laura Waite were also awarded scholarships funded by the university's faculty and staff.

"The Reinhardt Family Scholarship is completely funded with financial contributions from faculty and staff, so it provides donors a better sense of how their money is used and how much it is needed," said Kelley Johnson, of the development office, in a statement. "It also gives students an opportunity to be awarded a scholarship that will assist them in paying their spring semester tuition, especially when they're facing unforeseen circumstances."

In the fourth year since its inception, the RFC Scholarship has been awarded to 13 students and provided more than $18,000 in scholarships.
