阿宾顿,爸爸. — The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) hosted a golf outing on Sept. 26 that 提高d more than $60,000 to endow a new scholarship at 宾州州立大学阿宾顿分校. The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Scholarship at 宾州州立大学阿宾顿分校 continues Sheriff Sean Kilkenny’s efforts to secure support to help MCSO employees and their families reach their educational goals.
Margo DelliCarpini, 宾州州立大学阿宾顿分校's former chancellor, who transitioned to vice president for Commonwealth Campuses and executive chancellor on Oct. 1, hailed Kilkenny and the attendees for putting the power of partnership and education to work to make a difference in people’s lives.
“Almost 80% of 阿宾顿 students receive some form of financial aid, 通过你的善意, we are chipping away at the financial roadblock that most of our students encounter. You have joined the ranks of the many alumni and friends who support scholarships that make earning a college degree a reality for our accomplished and ambitious students,”她说。.
Kilkenny thanked donors for their generosity and enthusiasm.
“Your contributions have made the sixth annual Sheriff’s Scholarship Golf Outing an outstanding success, and we are eager to return next year to continue our mission of empowering local students through education,他说.
自2017年以来, proceeds from the golf tournament have benefited a scholarship at Montgomery County 社区 College, but it transitioned to 宾州州立大学阿宾顿分校 this year. This new endowed scholarship at 阿宾顿 will direct support first to MCSO employees and their families and then, 如果有资金的话, to employees of Montgomery County who are enrolled at the campus.
Montgomery County Commissioner Jamila Winder, a Penn State alumna and the keynote speaker at the post-outing dinner, highlighted the importance of education through the generations of her family and how it inspired her to prioritize helping younger people navigate their educational journeys.
