Students thank scholarship benefactors at annual events

In two separate events, Penn State Altoona students who are scholarship recipients were able to meet with their benefactors and thank them for their generosity.

The first event was held Feb. 22 for Sheetz Fellows and recipients of the Steve and Nancy Sheetz Trustee Scholarship and the Sheetz Family Endowed Scholarship. Students had the opportunity to spend time with Steve and Nancy during a special reception at the Sheetz Center for Entrepreneurial Excellence.

Then, on Feb. 23, Penn State Altoona scholarship recipients met with their scholarship benefactors at Port-Sky Cafe. David Pearlman, director of Student Aid, offered remarks about the impact of scholarships and thanked benefactors for their commitment to the college.

The annual events serve as unique opportunities for students to personally thank the benefactors who make their scholarships possible.
