Kenney Family Athletic Endowed Scholarship

This scholarship was created by friends, family, coaches, administrators, and Braves Club members in honor of the family of Mira and Dan Kenney and their five children-Geoff, Rebecca, Matt, Kyle, and Mack. Dan Kenney served UNC Pembroke in many leadership roles spanning five decades beginning in 1977, including those of a coach, director of athletics, faculty member, and chief of staff. The recipients of the Kenney Family Endowed Scholarship will be student athletes who have been at UNC Pembroke for more than one year and exhibit the characteristics of the Kenney Family-including a strong passion for UNC Pembroke, integrity, positive attitude, and a commitment to teamwork. The recipients must meet NCAA Eligibility Standards and will be selected by the Director of Athletics or designee. Preference is for the recipient to be a rising senior with an interest in coaching, teaching, or administration as a career ambition.
