A pair of Latrobe area brothers established a new scholarship fund at Indiana University of Pennsylvania in honor of local entrepreneur Jerry Quinn Sr.
Students from Greater Latrobe High School or Westmoreland County will be eligible to apply for the scholarships from the Quinn Keystone Legacy Trust of Westmoreland County, IUP officials said.
Brothers Gerald “Jeep” Quinn Jr., a 1991 IUP graduate, and Brian Quinn, a 1996 IUP graduate, and their spouses, Jennifer Thomas Quinn ’94, and Rebecca Ruffner Quinn ’95, made a $150,000 pledge.
The Quinn brothers own and operate Keystone Foam Corp. in Derry, which was founded by Jerry Quinn Sr. The brothers are graduates of Greater Latrobe High School.
“Our dad taught us the value of hard work and dedication but always stressed the importance of education. We established this endowment because we wanted to help serve students and their education in a meaningful way, plus honor the life of our father and his accomplishments,” Jeep Quinn Jr. said.
