The University of Pittsburgh at Bradford honored scholarship donors and recipients Friday at its annual Donor Scholarship Luncheon, a chance for the two groups to meet and share a meal. So far during the 2022-23 academic year, 319 students have received $684,276 in donor scholarships. Speaking at the event was alumna Cheryl Lutz ’69-’71 and her husband, Rick, who have sponsored two scholarships and enjoy hosting students in their home each year for Dinner with a Panther.
“The fact that the students come from so many places always makes us ask, how did you end up at UPB?” Cheryl Lutz said, adding that for many, the answer is “scholarships.” She read from a thank-you letter the couple received from one of their scholarship recipients, which said, “You were the deciding factor whether I would be able to graduate or not.” Source
