St. Bonaventure Announces Rugby Scholarship


Need-Based Scholarship Will Commence in Fall 2007


OLEAN, NY -- St. Bonaventure University rugby alumni recently announced the endowment of a financial-need based scholarship for high school rugby players.

The Robert Peraza Memorial Scholarship, named in memory of a St. Bonaventure University alumni and rugby player who died in the September 11, 2001 World Trade Center attacks, will be renewable for four years. The Peraza scholarship is intended to provide high school student-athletes with the opportunity to attend St. Bonaventure where financial need may have prevented them in the past.

SBU rugby alumni are responsible for finding a worthy recipient for the Fall 2007 semester. As the endowment grows, additional scholarships with greater monetary values will be awarded.

Founded in 1858, St. Bonaventure University is located on 500 acres in southwestern New York State near Olean. It is the flagship Franciscan university. SBU Rugby Football Club is a member of the New York State Rugby Conference, playing in the Division II Empire West.
