Schreiber Funded Scholarship for Penn State Graduate-Level Speech Therapy Students
Amidst a national reckoning over racial justice, the Schreiber Center for Pediatric Development advanced its commitment to diversity by establishing a scholarship at the Pennsylvania State University to support graduate students from underrepresented backgrounds in the College of Health and Human Development. The Schreiber Center’s $275,000 gift was matched by Penn State’s Educational Equity Matching Program, creating a $550,000 endowment that will provide financial resources in perpetuity.
The scholarship supports master’s-level students excelling in speech-language pathology within the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders.
As an added benefit, recipients can undertake a fieldwork experience at the Schreiber Center, bridging academic excellence with real-world experience in outpatient pediatric therapy.
James DeBord, Schreiber President, emphasized the importance of this initiative: “By endowing this graduate scholarship at Penn State, we took a long-overdue step to advance equitable access to training, with the goal of creating a pool of speech-language pathology experts that reflect the communities they serve.”
