Brian J. O'Hara Memorial Scholarship
Brian J. O'Hara was a beloved brother who sadly passed away this year, leaving behind his family and his community too soon.
Brian was a former football player on his elementary and high school teams. He went on to coach for over ten years, making a mark on the athletes he mentored and taught. Student-athletes are often some of the most resilient, multi-faceted, and hardworking individuals, learning to succeed on and off the field and developing skills that will be helpful for the rest of their lives.
This scholarship seeks to honor the life of Brian J. O'Hara by supporting students who share his passion for football.
Any high school senior who is a Pennsylvania resident with community service experience may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they play football.
