Timothy K. Gonzalez
CEO, RREEF North America
"A college education is one of the greatest benefits we can bestow upon our children. It provides them with choices in their lives and a broader range of career opportunities. Caring parents make many sacrifices to create this advantage for their children.
"At RREEF we believe that those who chose to represent and serve our country, and made the greatest of all sacrifices, should be honored by ensuring that their children still have the opportunity to obtain a higher education. The RREEF sponsored scholarship is available to the deserving son or daughter of a member of the Marine Corps, so that they may fulfill the dream of their parents."
