The Meyers at their Reunion

Gracious Goodness

A sense of gratitude inspired Dr. Dale Meyer (Col ’79)—a first-generation scholarship student—and his wife, Dr. Joy Meyer, to create the Meyer Family Scholarship, a need-based scholarship for out-of-state students at UVA. "There are things that happened in my life—including going to the University of Virginia—that I deeply appreciate," Dale Meyer reflected. The Meyers funded their scholarship with a charitable gift annuity. "A CGA is a win-win," Dale Meyer said. "Joy and I want to make provisions for each other in our investment and estate planning."
