“Through the GE-Reagan Presidential Foundation Scholarship Program, President Reagan’s enduring legacy of leadership, drive, integrity, and citizenship is showcased among the next generation of leaders,” says Janet Tran, acting Chief Learning Officer at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute. “We are eager to celebrate those stand-out students in the Class of 2024 who are already leading, serving and pursuing a life of purpose and significance, both individually and for their communities.”
