SRU announces McGraw scholarship
SLIPPERY ROCK — For seven seasons, Bobby McGraw brought passion and encouragement to the Slippery Rock University women’s basketball program as its head coach.
Now the university wants to extend those traits — in his name — for years to come.
SRU formally announced the formation of the Bobby McGraw Memorial Scholarship during halftime of Wednesday night’s game against Edinboro at Morrow Field House. McGraw, a 1990 Mars graduate, died suddenly in July of 2022.
The inaugural scholarship will be awarded next season to a Rock junior or senior women’s basketball player pursuing careers in law enforcement while showing the same spirit and passion McGraw was known for.
McGraw served as a member of the U.S. Marines Corps military police and was a retired Pennsylvania state trooper. His 77 career wins rank fourth all-time on the SRU women’s basketball coaching list.
