Bob McCloskey Insurance to Sponsor South Atlantic Conference Postgraduate Scholarships

ROCK HILL, S.C. (TheSAC.com) – South Atlantic Conference Commissioner Patrick Britz announced the addition of Bob McCloskey Insurance (BMI) as a corporate partner.

As part of the three-year partnership, BMI becomes the "Official Student and Athletic Accident Insurance Claims Administrator for the South Atlantic Conference". Additionally, BMI will sponsor two, one male and one female, postgraduate scholarships each year beginning in 2018-19.

"We are thrilled to have Bob McCloskey Insurance on board as a corporate partner and we are even more excited that they will be sponsoring two postgraduate scholarships for our student-athletes," said Britz. "We feel this is a great way to reward the commitment our student-athletes have made on the field, on the court and in the classroom. This is a one-of-a-kind scholarship opportunity that only a few Division II conferences are able to provide." 

"We are extremely proud to be a sponsor of the South Atlantic Conference," said Bob McCloskey Insurance Senior Vice President Peter Ginnegar. "The conference philosophy embodies the full definition of the true student-athlete."

The BMI postgraduate scholarships will be awarded to student-athletes who excel academically and athletically and who are at least in their final year of intercollegiate athletics competition. The one-time non-renewable scholarships of $2,000 will be awarded at the end of each academic year.
