West Virginia Wesleyan College junior Brian Potter, an athletic training major from Berkeley Springs, W.Va., received a scholarship from the National Athletic Trainers Association (NATA). The scholarship, which is for $2,000, will be used towards his tuition at Wesleyan.

"It's an honor to be selected to receive this scholarship and to be recognized by the NATA," Potter said. "I think this says a lot about the athletic training program at Wesleyan."

Potter was nominated by Jean Fruh, director of athletic training and assistant professor of physical education at Wesleyan. To be eligible to win the scholarship, nominees had to be a member of NATA, be enrolled in an NATA-approved athletic training curriculum program, and have a minimum GPA of 3.2. The nominees also had to write a short essay, complete an application, and have a recommendation from the nominating athletic trainer.

Potter will complete a clinical internship in May, and he will be working at summer camps at Slippery Rock University this summer. He plans to attend graduate school and then work as a certified athletic trainer.
