Neag School Professors Joseph Renzulli and Sally Reis collaborate on their research focused on gifted and talented students.

When Neag School Professor Joseph Renzulli was awarded the prestigious McGraw Prize in Education last fall, he received a bronze sculpture and a gift of $25,000. Soon after, Joe, and his wife and research colleague Sally Reis decided to use the money to match any donation made to their scholarship fund, which was created several years ago.

The Joseph Renzulli and Sally Reis Renzulli Fund for Graduate Studies in Gifted Education is awarded each year at the Neag School Honors Celebration, to an academically outstanding student who is pursuing a master’s or doctorate in Gifted Education and Talent Development.

To make a gift to their fund, please contact Abigail O’Brien, director of development, at (860) 486-4530 or via e-mail at aobrien@foundation.uconn.edu.
