Harold J. McGrady Speech Language Pathology Scholarship

Harold J. McGrady Speech/Language Pathology Scholarship

The Harold J. (Hal) McGrady Speech-Language Pathology Scholarship was established by Dr. Hal McGrady, a BGSU alumnus, in order to provide support to graduate students in Communication Sciences and Disorders. Dr. McGrady received his bachelors degree from BGSU, his master’s in audiology from Ohio State and his Ph.D. in speech pathology from Northwestern University. His career was equally divided between university and school settings. Because of his dedication to speech-language services in the schools, Dr. McGrady established this scholarship to support students who wish to pursue a career in the schools as a speech-language pathologist. In 2010 he was recognized as one of the 100 most prominent alumni of BGSU.
