The Brian R. Shaner annual scholarship was begun in 1987 in memory of Brian who was killed in a sledding-automobile accident. At that time, Brian was a freshman at Troy Senior High School. He was interested in pursuing a career in Engineering, Mathematics or Science. Therefore, the scholarship is to advance study in these fields.
This year’s scholarship, in the amount of $2,500, is to be used for tuition at a professionally accredited four-year college or university, leading to a degree in engineering, science, or mathematics. Morgan will be attending the University of Pittsburgh majoring in Rehabilitation Science on the pre-physical therapy track.
