Regina Myers McClain Student Scholarship

The Regina Myers McClain Student Scholarship Fund is available through the UCM Alumni Foundation to provide a one-time scholarship to each student enrolled in their first year of the Master of Science in Clinical Nutrition (FEM/GP) program at UCM. This scholarship was made possible by way of a generous gift from the Estate of Regina Myers McClain.

With a desire to help fund programs that promote wellness and nutrition and improve the quality of students’ lives, Regina Myers McClain named her alma mater the beneficiary of her estate. McClain resided in Rolling Hills Estates, Calif., prior to her death in Los Angeles County, Aug. 7, 2001. A former Lee’s Summit resident, she graduated from UCM in 1935 with an English degree. Although she devoted most of her life to teaching, she spent many years after World War II living and working in Europe, where she became an astute businesswoman. When she returned to the United States to live in southern California, she taught at Los Angeles Harbor Community College and invested in several properties, which were bequeathed to the University of Central Missouri.
