Asberry will receive a $500 scholarship and be recognized at the NATA National Convention

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Jennifer Asberry, an athletic training student at Missouri Valley College (MVC), was chosen by the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Athletic Trainers Association Scholarship and Awards Committee as the recipient of the 2010 Al Ortolani Athletic Training Undergraduate Scholarship. Asberry, who will be a senior this fall, will receive a $500 scholarship to be used towards her education in athletic training.

Asberry, who exhibits tremendous campus involvement while maintaining high academic standards, serves as vice president of the MVC Athletic Training Student Organization, is a member of the Missouri Athletic Trainers' Association Student Leadership Council and sits on the NAIA's National Athletic Training Students' Committee. Asberry attended the 2009 MoATA Capital Hill day and is the coauthor of a NATA abstract that was presented at the NATA District V symposium and will be presented later this month at the NATA National Convention. In addition to her course work and training she is a member of the Missouri Valley College Track and Field team and has made the Dean's list each semester of her college experience.

"Jennifer is exceptionally understanding and a patient young lady whose knowledge makes her extremely beneficial in all aspects of athletic training," Matthew C. Rowlett, head athletic trainer and assistant professor of health sciences at Missouri Valley College said, adding that "she can pinpoint evaluations, start-up rehabilitation protocols, and assist our athletes in return to participation activities."

Earlier this year, Asberry was named the recipient of the Valley Women Scholarship and was selected for the National Athletic Training Student Leadership Workshop. Asberry's involvement in these professional organizations and the MVC's athletic training program has helped her establish leadership skills, a better understanding of the athletic training profession and career opportunities.

Asberry will be recognized on June 24, at the NAIA-ATA business meeting held in conjunction with the NATA National Convention in Philadelphia, Pa. To learn more visit www.NAIA.org.
