IUP, PENNWEST CLARION GRADS ESTABLISH SCHOLARSHIPS

Graduates from Indiana University of Pennsylvania and PennWest Clarion have teamed up to establish a social studies scholarship at IUP.

Thomas and Virginia Schott have given IUP $25,000 to establish the scholarship in their names, which will go to a full-time student pursuing a degree in social studies education.  Students must have a minimum 3.0 GPA, and while it is open to all, a preference will be given to students from Elk and Clearfield counties.  The couple have established a similar scholarship for PennWest Clarion students studying library science.

Thomas was a social studies education graduate from the class of 1972 at IUP while Virginia earned three library science degrees from PennWest Clarion.
