A new scholarship has been named at Temple in honor of Josh Winheld, a Temple alumnus who passed away last year after a long battle with muscular dystrophy. His aunt and uncle donated $100,000 in his honor, an amount matched by the Charlotte W. Newcombe Foundation. The scholarships, expected to begin in fall 2012, will help disabled students. Sue Gordon, a food blogger from West Windsor Township, N.J., called her nephew an inspiration. "He never used his physical disability as an excuse. He used it as a call to action. Everything he did was just a million times more difficult for him. We wanted to acknowledge that, and make it a little bit easier for others."
