2023 DR. MIRAGLIA SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS SELECTED

At the May 9, 2023 meeting of Borough Council, the winner(s) of the 2023 Dr. Vincent Miraglia Scholarship were announced.

Vice President Tony Heyl, a member of the Scholarship Selection Committee, noted that this was perhaps the best crop of candidates to select from in his ten years of service. The committee had a whopping ELEVEN applicants to select from, and each one of them had a resume that is worthy of admiration. We have students that will be heading to UPitt, UPenn, Jefferson, Rochester Institute of Technology, LaSalle, Temple, and Bryn Mawr College just to name a few. In fact, the candidates were so impressive, that the Committee and Borough Council ultimately decided to award two winners for this year's scholarship award.

Bridgeport Borough is proud to announce that this year's winners of the Dr. Vincent Miraglia Scholarship are Sedia Bishop and Jacob Groves! Miss Bishop has been accepted to LaSalle University, where she plans to study to become a social worker. Miss Bishop has been a part of numerous extracurricular groups during her time at UMHS, including student union, track & field, and the German club. Mr. Groves has been accepted to Harrisburg University of Science & Technology, where he plans to study e-sports management. He is an Eagle Scout, having earned this honor through a community service project he coordinated at Rotondo Riverfront Park, and has been a member of DECA and studied jiu-jitsu while at UMHS.

Jacob Groves and Sedia Bishop will be formally acknowledged and presented with their scholarship awards at the May 23 Borough Council meeting.

Please join us in congratulating Sedia and Jacob, as well as our other fantastic applicants, and wish them all the best of luck in their future endeavors!
