2008 Grindstone Scholarships

April 25, 20087 (Knoxville, TN) - The University of Tennessee Men's Rugby Club and the Volunteer Rugby Foundation presented the 2008 Grindstone Scholarship Award at its annual awards banquet on Saturday night.

This is the second year for the Grindstone Scholarship. This award was created as a way to recognize and reward those players that are dedicated to their education and the rugby club. The award will be provided each year to club members with a commitment to UT Rugby and strong work ethic.  The overall intent of the award is to lessen the financial burden for the student athlete that may be working or borrowing to assist in the funding of their education.

This year, UT Rugby is pleased to award the 2008 Grindstone Scholarship to the following students:

Gabe Woodson, a Sophomore from from Knoxville, TN (Karns High School)

Jordan Bowlus, a Sophomore from Farragut, TN (Farragut High School)
