New Miles-to-Go Fund at Pitt-Bradford

miles.jpg The University of Pittsburgh at Bradford has announced a new and unique scholarship fund, the Miles-to-Go Scholarship and Endowment Fund, to support student media and travel. The “Miles-to-Go” fund was established by friends and alumni in honor of longtime advisory board member Madeline Miles. The fund will help students in the campus media through scholarships and subsidize the cost of student travel. The fund will also bring together the Pitt-Bradford community members and the citizens of Bradford, dramatizing the connections between the world of college and the world of work. Half of the fund will go to support stipends for the student managers of the college’s media: radio station, WDRQ; newspaper, The Source; and literary magazine, Baily’s Beads. Each medium will develop programming that highlights items like Bradford history, environment and current affairs. The other half of the fund will support student research and travel activities, such as conference attendance for students on the college newspaper, radio station and literary magazine staffs. In addition, part of the money will help support the division’s annual trip to New York City.
