The Bradford branch of the American Association of University Women (AAUW) has endowed a scholarship at Pitt-Bradford.

The $6,000 gift made by the group has been matched by the Agnes L. and Lewis Lyle Thomas Scholarship Challenge.

The scholarship will be awarded to a local student who reflects the values and mission promoted by the Bradford branch of the AAUW. First preference will be given to a Bradford Area High School student, then to a student attending a high school in McKean County. 

The matching pledge from the Thomas Scholarship Challenge, which was made possible by a $1 million gift from Agnes L. Thomas, ensures perpetual funding of the scholarship and provides added visibility for the organization while strengthening its relationship with Pitt-Bradford. The branch will continue to fund a local AAUW scholarship for students related to an active member of the Bradford branch.
