Engelbrekt and Miller Earn Pac-12 Postgraduate Scholarships

CORVALLIS, Ore. – Oregon State baseball's Max Engelbrekt and softball's Bev Miller have both earned Pac-12 Postgraduate Scholarships, the conference office announced Thursday.

The scholarships, worth $9,000 each, are awarded to up to two student-athletes from each Pac-12 school annually. These worthy student-athletes maintained a minimum 3.0 grade point average and demonstrated a commitment to education, campus and community involvement, and leadership.

"The recipients of this scholarship are excellent representatives of their universities and wonderful examples of the power of collegiate sports to help young people reach their goals," said Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott. "The Pac-12 is honored to help these standout student-athletes continue their educations, and I look forward to watching them positively impact their communities in the years to come."

Engelbrekt was the Pac-12 Scholar Athlete of the Year his senior year, and was a two-time Pac-12 All-Academic selection. He tallied five saves in the 2017 campaign, posting a 0.43 ERA to help the Beavers make it to the College World Series. Engelbrekt threw 3 2/3 scoreless innings against Oregon in May, earning credit for the win.

Miller played two seasons for the Beavers after transferring to Oregon State from Monterrey Peninsula Junior College. She was selected as an Oregon State Everyday Champion and was an All-Pac-12 Honorable Mention in 2015. She tossed a no-hitter against UC Santa Barbara in her junior campaign, and made 35 appearances in her senior year, compiling 125 strikeouts.

To be selected for a Pac-12 Postgraduate Scholarship, a student-athlete must have:

Maintained an overall undergraduate minimum cumulative grade-point average of 3.00 (based on a 4.00 scale);
Completed his/her final season of intercollegiate athletics eligibility in all sports or be in his/her final year of undergraduate study, having exhausted athletics eligibility in all sports;
