Top Secret Colonials Donate to the Craig Paullet Making a Difference Scholarship

Leave a reply

Members of the Top Secret Colonials (TSC) collectively donated $655 to a scholarship fund at RMU. Pictured left are members of TSC presenting a check to club advisor Dr. Karen Paullet at the club’s annual trip to a Pirate Game.

The donation was made to the Craig Paullet Making a Difference Scholarship which is dedicated to helping students in computing majors who are academically talented and economically challenged. The scholarship fund honors Dr. Paullet’s late brother, Craig Paullet, by making a difference in the lives of students who might not otherwise be able to pursue their educational goals. If you would like to give to the fund, you can donate here.

Members and alumni of the club had fun cheering on the Bucs on Friday, May 2, 2025, all while making a difference for future computing students. Thank you, TSC, for this generous donation!
