A scholarship has been established in the name of late Norwin coach and athletic director Randy Rovesti, who died in April at age 74.
The scholarship does not yet have a set value, but it will be given each year to a graduating senior at Norwin.
It will begin in the 2026-27 school year.
Multi-sport athletes may be given preference due to Rovesti’s fondness for those who did not specialize.
The winner must have “dedication to learning and consistent effort,” as well as “discipline, sportsmanship and a team-first mentality,” according to the guidelines, which stress work ethic.
Setting an example as a positive role model, having accountability and having the ability to inspire also play a role, as does service to school and community through volunteering and mentoring.
The scholarship carries with it a sense of pride for Rovesti’s family and friends.
“For our family, the scholarship creates a lasting connection to the students and the Norwin School District that were a big part of my dad’s life story,” said Rovesti’s son, Randy. “The scholarship also provides purpose to our family by allowing my dad’s name and legacy to be associated with opportunity and helping future students pursue their goals, while carrying forward the core values that my dad embodied and defined his life.”
