The Peter S. Graybar Memorial Scholarship was created by the Class of 1993 to honor the memory of a beloved friend and classmate. The scholarship is open to any sophomore* who meets the University of Scranton’s scholarship criteria. The Scholarship will be awarded to a student who is active in extracurricular and community service activities and demonstrates personal impact on fellow students. In order to apply, the sophomore must submit two recommendations using the attached forms. At least a close friend of the applicant must write one of the recommendations. Preference will be given to those with financial need; however, this is not a condition for the scholarship. To assist the selection committee you may submit a resume of your activities to the Financial Aid Office and/or to your recommenders.

The scholarship consists of one-half (1/2) of the annual income generated by the principle (funds raised by the Class of 1993). The scholarship will be used to provide financial assistance to the recipient during his/her junior year. The recipient will also receive the scholarship during his/her senior year, as long as he/she continues to meet the University of Scranton’s scholarship criteria. No recipient will receive the scholarship for more than two years.

The University of Scranton’s Financial Aid Office and the current recipient(s) will determine the recipient of the scholarship. The current recipient(s) will notify the new recipient of his/her award.

In order to be considered for the scholarship, applicants must submit the two recommendations to the Financial Aid Office by May 9, 2025.
