The Scranton Alumni Club presented a final check for $13,000 to The University of Scranton to fully endow “The Scranton Alumni Club of Northeastern Pennsylvania Scholarship.” The need-based scholarship for students from northeastern Pennsylvania will be awarded to the first recipient in the fall of 2013.
