BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - The Big Ten Conference office announced its annual postgraduate scholarship recipients on Thursday and Indiana's Austin Foote (baseball) and Mollie Getzfread (field hockey) were named IU's two recipients.
Two students competing in intercollegiate athletics from each of the 14 Big Ten institutions who plan to continue their education at a graduate degree program were each awarded a $7,500 scholarship, based on primarily academic achievements.
An Academic All-Big Ten selection in 2016, Foote has been a go-to lefty specialist out of the IU bullpen this season, as he has made 15 appearances, tied for the fourth most on the team.
