Athletic Training Student Rachel Miller Wins National Scholarship

Rachel Miller, a second-year Master of Science in Athletic Training student, was recently awarded the Professional Football Athletic Trainers Society (PFBATS) Jerry Rhea Scholarship from the National Athletic Trainers Association (NATA) for her high academic and clinical achievements. "As a department, we are so proud of Rachel for being recognized for her hard work and dedication. This scholarship was well-deserved and is only the beginning of what Rachel is capable of doing within the athletic training profession," said Ashley Gray, Assistant Professor and Coordinator of Clinical Education for the MSAT Program. This scholarship was named after the longtime Head Athletic Trainer of the Atlanta Falcons and Past NATA President, Jerry Rhea. NATA scholarships are one of the most competitive and sought-after awards in the country, provide substantial financial support for college expenses, and recognize students who exhibit not only high academic prowess but also leadership and integrity. "Receiving this scholarship is incredibly motivating and validates the hard work I've put into my studies," said Miller. "It not only supports my journey as an Athletic Trainer but also reinforces my commitment to addressing mental health in sports. This opportunity inspires me to make a positive impact on athletes' lives, ensuring they thrive both physically and mentally." Miller currently serves as the President of the Athletic Training Student Association and has been an active member since 2019. Along with her leadership role, she also presented a poster presentation at a regional conference in January 2024.
