Ryan O'Malley '99 Memorial Scholarship

The Ryan O'Malley '99 Memorial Scholarship was established by his family after his passing in 2011, in his memory and to enable Computer Science students of limited resources with an interest in fitness to attend The University of Scranton. Since that time, Ryan's family and friends have raised more than $150,000 for the scholarship, much of it through ROAR: The Ryan O'Malley Annual Race, a 5K fundraising event the family organized from 2013-2017. In 2018, John, Ryan’s brother, embarked upon the inaugural ROAR: The Ryan O’Malley Annual Ride by cycling the 500+ miles of The Colorado Trail from Denver to Durango in Ryan’s memory. John has continued to raise funds for the scholarship through the ride through 2022, even despite an injury while biking the Tour Divide.
