NEW ORLEANS – Jonathan Ifedi, a four-year letterwinner as a wide receiver for the Georgia State football team and an outstanding student, has been awarded a Sun Belt Conference Postgraduate Scholarship.

The Sun Belt Conference announced the seven student-athletes selected to receive 2021 Sun Belt Conference Postgraduate Scholarships.South Alabama's Susanna Pudner (Women's Cross Country/Track & Field) and Georgia Southern's Pascal Wagemaker (Men's Tennis) were the top awardees and will each receive a $6,500 scholarship. Ifedi, along with Louisiana's Alex Hannie (Baseball) and Julianne Deblieux (Women's Soccer), Isaac Murdock of Coastal Carolina (Men's Track and Field) and Sara Betts of Arkansas State (Volleyball), will each be awarded $3,000 scholarships. 

"We are so proud of the accomplishments of these exemplary Sun Belt student-athletes and are pleased to provide financial assistance so that they can continue their education beyond their undergraduate degree," said Sun Belt Commissioner Keith Gill.

A 2020 NFF Campbell Trophy Semifinalist, Ifedi is currently pursuing a Master's degree at Georgia State in computer information systems. He is specializing in cyber security after earning his Bachelor's degree at Georgia State in the same area in May of 2020.
