Penn State WB alum gives students an opportunity | The Times Leader, Wilkes-Barre, Scranton PA - News

Penn State WB alum gives students an opportunity | The Times Leader, Wilkes-Barre, Scranton PA - News: DALLAS -- Rick Barry’s time at Penn State’s Wilkes-Barre campus was short but it had quite an impact on him. Barry and his wife Sue have established a $1 million scholarship program that will help dozens of students with financial needs each year.

Fifty of those students shared in a meal with Barry during the school’s annual scholarship dinner at Apple Tree Terrace at Newberry Estate Thursday night.

The gift is the latest in a line that Rick, a 1980 Penn State University graduate, and his wife have made to the local campus and the University Park main campus in recent years.
