Brady鈥檚 primary hope is to assist students who plan to pursue a teaching career. 

鈥淎s we are seeing each day, young graduates are opting for numerous career paths, and selecting a teaching career is still an important career path for our youth today,鈥� Brady said. 鈥淢y experience at Murray State prepared me well for a lifetime of service in a profession that has been incredibly rewarding for many years. I truly believe that future Racers, through the assistance of this scholarship endowment, will encounter the same enjoyment that I experienced in assisting those who are in pursuit of an education.鈥�
