SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. -- Dave and Vicki Knopp, owners of the Grove City County Market, have endowed the Grove City County Market Scholarship with a gift of $25,000 as part of The Campaign for Slippery Rock University. It is the second scholarship established by the couple to help area students attend SRU. "Already the David and Victoria Knopp Scholarship has provided thousands of dollars in support of Grove City County Market employees and their families pursuing an education at Slippery Rock University," says SRU President Robert Smith.The scholarship will provide financial assistance to students matriculating to SRU from Grove City, Mercer and Slippery Rock school districts who demonstrate dedication and perseverance in their academic work. It will be available to first-year students regardless of their academic major beginning with fall semester.With more than 85% of undergraduates in need of financial aid to attend the university, scholarship support provided by alumni and friends is critical, says Dave Knopp, a member of the Slippery Rock University Foundation Inc. board of directors.Next month marks the Grove City County Market's 20th year in business.Visit Slippery Rock University: www.sru.edu "
