The Youngstown State University Department of Intercollegiate
Athletics is pleased to announce the creation of the Mincey Family
Scholarship to enhance the YSU Athletics Scholarship Endowment
Fund.
Dr. Daryl and Vicki Mincey, their daughter, Maribeth, and
son-in-law, Michael, have been long-time supporters of all YSU
Athletic programs.
Dr. Daryl Mincey is an Emeritus Chair of the Chemistry
Department and a long-time volunteer, particularly as a
photographer, with the Athletic Department. He has been with
the University community for thirty-seven years. Vicki Mincey
is a life-long resident of Youngstown and a MBA graduate of the
Williamson School of Business.
In 2013, the Mincey Family was honored as the Penguin of the
Year by the Penguin Club at the annual Scholarship/Ring Banquet.
Daryl has missed one football game, home or away, over the
past 22 years. He and Vicki have attended countless men’s and
women’s basketball games while the three of them traveled all
over the country when Maribeth was younger. The family has been to
all six National Championship Games.
The first preference for the scholarship is to be awarded to a
football student-athlete majoring in Chemistry. Additional
eligibility will include a student-athlete majoring in chemistry or
a football student-athlete majoring in a program within the College
of STEM. The scholarship endowment recipient must complete their
freshman year at YSU with a minimum 3.2 GPA.
"The scholarship is our way of saying thank you to the
university community and all the friends that we have met over the
years through our association with penguin athletics." Dr.
Mincey said. "We trust that this support will assist future
student-athletes in representing this institution with
distinction."
Paul McFadden, President of the YSU Foundation, said the
Mincey’s have always played a key role in the success of
Youngstown State University.
“The Mincey family has been so supportive of Youngstown
State University and we are honored to have them endow a
scholarship,” McFadden said. “They support YSU
academics and athletics in so many ways that go unnoticed. The
student-athlete who receives this scholarship will benefit greatly
from their generosity.”
