Donor profile

When Matt ’01 and Tiffany (Bower) Stuckey ’02 were looking to attend college in the late 1990s, several factors were important to them. For him, it was a strong business major, and Messiah’s international business program seemed like a great fit. She was looking for a college that provided a great education with a Christian worldview. Both also have multiple family connections to Messiah University. His two brothers and a cousin followed him to Messiah. And Tiff Stuckey is part of a legacy family, having both parents and several siblings attend Messiah.

Matt Stuckey found that the professors at Messiah were exceptional. He felt they really invested in him. For Tiff Stuckey, both professors and coaches had an impact on her. She also values the lasting friendships formed on campus.

The Stuckey family owns several car dealerships throughout the Laurel Highlands and central region of Pennsylvania. When asked why they support Messiah, they explained, “We are very excited to be able to offer a scholarship for students to attend Messiah from the communities in which we conduct business. We’re excited to see the outcomes for those students as they obtain their degrees and enter the workforce.”

Because of a special matching opportunity available to all donors, the Stuckeys’ endowment gifts for the Stuckey Family Scholarship Endowment have been matched, dollar-for-dollar, thus doubling the impact of their generosity. It is a true gift when alumni invest in current students through scholarship aid and endowment. We are so thankful for their commitment to their alma mater.
