Pitt-Bradford recently announced two new scholarships — both matched by the Agnes L. and Lewis Lyle Scholarship Challenge — have been established to aid UPB students.

The Dr. Rebecca J. Mowrey Excellence in Sport Studies Scholarship will benefit students pursuing careers in the sport sciences.

The scholarship was endowed by Mowrey, who served on the Pitt-Bradford faculty for 13 years; her parents, James and Thelma Mowrey, and Holly J. Spittler, associate dean of student affairs, a colleague and friend of Rebecca Mowrey’s.

Mowrey, who currently is professor of sport management and director of the graduate sport management program at Millersville University of Pennsylvania, began her professional career as an educator at Pitt-Bradford, where she helped establish the sport and recreation management and sports medicine majors.

The scholarship is for a returning senior, junior or sophomore majoring in athletic training, sports medicine or sport and recreation management with a grade-point average of 3.0 or higher.

Also on the Bradford campus, Pitt alumni David and Dawn Jardini have established a scholarship.

The Jardinis are co-founders of C/G Electrodes in St. Marys, Pa.;  David Jardini serves as company president.

David Jardini earned his master’s degree in social history at the Pittsburgh campus, where his wife, Dawn Jardini, earned her master’s of business administration degree.

A $1 million gift from Agnes L. Thomas doubles gifts between $5,000 and $50,000 made to new or existing UPB scholarships.
