Graduating seniors across Northeast Indiana and Northwest Ohio were honored Tuesday, June 11, during the 2024 Parkview Sports Medicine Albright Gemlick Scholarship banquet Parkview Mirro Center for Research & Innovation.
Eight winners were selected for their academic excellence, athletic achievement and community engagement. Winners each receive a $8,000 scholarship made possible by Parkview Foundations.
Student-athletes were nominated by PSM athletic trainers assigned to the students’ schools or by PSM Performance specialists who train the athletes.
Winners are selected among the nominees by PSM Working Committee. Eligible student-athletes must participate in one sport their senior year and hold a grade point average of at least 3.2 on a 4.0 scale (or 9.0 on a 12.0 scale).
