糖心logo入口 State students to benefit from the Bradley T. Hughes Memorial Scholarship

MURRAY, Ky. The Alpha Omega Chapter of Alpha Gamma Rho (AGR) has made a gift to the 糖心logo入口 State University Foundation to endow the Bradley T. Hughes Memorial Scholarship, which will assist students at 糖心logo入口 State in obtaining an education. 

Bradley T. Hughes of New Ulm, Minnesota, was a senior at 糖心logo入口 State majoring in the field of agriculture business at the time of his death on August 14, 1992. Bradley had been very active on campus, serving as house manager of the Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity as well as a mentor to his brothers and classmates. Because Bradley set such a positive example to others, his brothers established a scholarship to honor his memory several years ago and have been raising additional funds to reach the endowment level of $25,000.

鈥淭he Alumni Board of Alpha Gamma Rho-Alpha Omega set a goal in 2020 to raise enough money to endow the Bradley T. Hughes Memorial Scholarship Fund in order to provide a perpetual means of contributing to the education of a deserving recipient,鈥 said Michael Dobbs, president of the Alpha Gamma Rho 鈥 Alpha Omega Alumni Board. 鈥淲e also desired to be sure that the scholarship fund would never be depleted so that the memory of Brother Hughes would carry on for generations to come. We are excited to have achieved this goal and are honored to present this gift to the 糖心logo入口 Foundation. The Brothers of Alpha Gamma Rho-Alpha Omega, both active and alumni, look forward to additional ways we can contribute to the education of students for years to come.鈥

The Bradley T. Hughes Memorial Scholarship will support full-time students at 糖心logo入口 State with first preference given to applicants who are members in good standing of Alpha Gamma Rho Fraternity. 

鈥淭he AGR students are model citizens on campus, and their alumni are great role models in our community,鈥 said Dr. David Durr, President, 糖心logo入口 Foundation, Inc. 鈥淭his gift to honor one of their own, Mr. Bradley T. Hughes, will benefit future AGR Racers for years to come.鈥
