Reymann, Charles and Salome Endowed Scholarship

The Charles and Salome Reymann Endowed Scholarship was established at Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ in 1976 by The Charles and Salome Reymann Foundation and was revised in 2008 and 2023. The scholarship provides annual tuition assistance to undergraduate students majoring in special education pursuing the mild/moderate or moderate/intensive intervention specialist track. This licensure focuses on providing special educational services to individuals with developmental disabilities.

Charles and Salome Reymann had a family of 16 children. Charles and his partners established the Atlantic Foundry in Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ in 1905. Charles eventually acquired control of the entire company, and the Reymann family owned and operated the business until its closing in 1989. Charles and Salome also established the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Mattress Company, which later became the San Hygene Furniture Company.

Because Charles and Salome had two grandchildren with special education needs, support for individuals with such needs became an important focus for the couple. In 1967 the descendants of Charles and Salome established the Reymann Foundation to honor and continue the legacy of good works that Charles and Salome had performed in the community.

Students eligible for The Charles and Salome Reymann Endowed Scholarship must be special education majors in the LeBron James Family Foundation School of Education, pursuing the mild/moderate or moderate/intensive intervention specialist track. Additionally, candidates must:
