USC Senior Lauded For Volunteer Efforts

UPPER ST. CLAIR, PA - Aidan Grogan, an Upper St. Clair High School senior, has been recognized by The Pittsburgh Foundation for his volunteer work at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Pittsburgh.

Grogan is the recipient of the G. Napier and Ellen T. Wilson Scholarship, which honors seniors who have volunteered for a minimum of 100 hours at the hospital and who are dependable and display a good attitude and work effort. Grogan logged more than 200 hours at the hospital over the past two summers.

The scholarship was in the amount of $1,850.

Grogan also has been involved with Carnegie Mellon University’s Project Ignite, a project-based educational program for local high school students. The student-run outreach program provides an opportunity for students to work in a team and gain experience planning and executing a project. Grogan and his team built a robotic arm that will be showcased later this month.

Grogan plans to major in biology in college with plans to attend medical school. He is currently considering his choices for college.
