A CSSA scholarship check was presented at the Edinboro Highland Games on the campus Edinboro University, Pennsylvania, to Ms. Mia Harvey, a piper. Ms. Harvey piped the clans onto the field for the calling of the clans on Friday evening. Ms. Harvey has played the pipes for 8 years and has been competing for 5 years. She is a sophomore music education major with a concentration in bagpipes and a minor in special education at Edinboro University. The CSSA scholarship will be used to continue her education at Edinboro University. From Mia, "Bagpiping has completely changed my life for the better! I am very thankful for the scholarship and all it has done for me!"
