McGriff Insurance to Sponsor South Atlantic Conference Minority Postgraduate Scholarships

ROCK HILL, S.C. (TheSAC.com) – South Atlantic Conference Commissioner Patrick Britz announced the addition of McGriff Insurance Services as a corporate partner on Thursday (Aug. 15).

As part of the three-year partnership, McGriff Insurance becomes the "Official Student-Athlete Accident and Health Insurance Endorsed Broker for the South Atlantic Conference". Additionally, McGriff will sponsor two; one male and one female, postgraduate scholarships designed specifically for minority student-athletes each year beginning in 2018-19.

"We are delighted to enhance our partnership with McGriff Insurance Services (formerly BB&T Insurance) who has been a corporate partner for six years," said Britz. "The South Atlantic Conference is committed to diversity and inclusion, and being able to provide these scholarships to two deserving minority student-athletes is further proof of that. I would like to thank Dan Nunnery and the great people at McGriff for this partnership!"

"We are very excited to continue and enhance our partnership with the South Atlantic Conference," said Dan Nunnery, Vice President of McGriff Insurance. "We have a long and rich history with the SAC, and we are honored to be able to provide these postgraduate scholarships."

The McGriff postgraduate scholarships will be awarded to minority 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.
