The Drew and Trent Grady
Miracle League of the South Hills Scholarship Program
The Board of Directors of The Miracle League of the South Hills, as well as all of our contributors, volunteers and professionals, work tirelessly to provide positive athletic experiences for kids and adults with challenges.
Through The Miracle League of the South Hills, we have been privileged to witness the amazing character, dedication, and resilience of players and volunteers alike. Because of that experience, it becomes evident that those efforts do not stop when parents, kids, and volunteers leave the fields, nor do their needs.
In an effort to support the ambitions and goals of our players and volunteers, we are happy to make available academic and activity scholarships, in varying amounts, to both players and volunteers through our Miracle League of the South Hills Gives Back Program.

We will begin taking applications for the 2021 award in September
NOTE: For your personal essay, it is your chance to tell the board why you deserve the scholarship. You'll have your letter of recommendations saying great things about you, but this is your chance to tell them! Some things to think about: how has the MLSH impacted your life, how has the MLSH helped you get to where you are, etc.

About Drew and Trent Grady
Drew and Trent Grady were brothers that lived their lives to the fullest in the brief amount of time they were given here on earth. They were residents of Upper St. Clair Township and began their lives without any apparent restrictions. Both Drew and Trent were members of the Miracle League of South Hills from its inception. They loved sports, motorcycles, and Disney. Unfortunately, they were diagnosed with a rare and terminal genetic disorder called Late Infantile Batten Disease. This affliction robbed them of their physical abilities and sight but not their love of life. Drew and Trent impacted the lives of so many others, both young and old, during their short lives merely by their very existence. These scholarships will be awarded to those who best exemplify the determination to learn, have zest for life, and willingness to have a positive effect on others, just as Drew and Trent did, in spite of all the obstacles in their way.
