Stanford has created five memorial scholarship funds to honor individual alumni killed in the September 11 terrorist attacks. The fund in honor of Vincent Boland, MA ’01, will support graduate students in the School of Education’s program in learning, design and technology. The funds named for Ulf Ericson, ’48, MS ’49, and Naomi Solomon, ’70, MA ’71, will provide unrestricted scholarship support to undergraduates. The fund in memory of Waleed Iskandar, ’88, MS ’89, will provide scholarships to undergraduates studying engineering. And the fund in honor of Bryan Jack, MBA ’78, will endow fellowships in the Graduate School of Business.
“These scholarships represent our belief that education can heal and transform, that out of our grief we can build a better world,” says University President John Hennessy. “I can think of no better way to honor members of the Stanford family who lost their lives on September 11 than to reaffirm the importance of education in serving humanity’s highest ambitions.”
Scholarships from each of the funds will be awarded this academic year.
