Creating Possibilities through Undergraduate Scholarships
July 29, 2025
In the late 1960s, a teenage Dan Reichel (BS '73) discovered Caltech in the pages of a Reader's Digest Almanac. "I noticed that it was listed as the most selective college in the country," Reichel says. "That sounded like a great goal."
A dedicated supporter of his alma mater for the last 50 years, Reichel recently created an endowed scholarship to support future undergraduates. "Growing up in Michigan, Caltech felt like another world. I want other students from similar backgrounds to know it's possible. My scholarship might not cover everything, but maybe it's the difference-maker for someone on the fence."
