After word came of the tragic deaths of several alumni on 9/11, the Dean's Office, led by Dean Richard McCarty before he stepped down earlier this year, decided to establish several scholarships in their names.
The first scholarship will provide full tuition for any of the children of the Krieger School alumni who are accepted for admission by the university and plan to major in the arts and sciences.
The second program is the September Eleven Alumni Memorial Scholarship, an endowed scholarship awarded each year to an Arts and Sciences undergraduate. The account was opened with a $20,000 contribution from the Dean's Office.
Every dollar contributed to the September Eleven Alumni Memorial Scholarship fund will be matched with an equal contribution from the Dean's Office.
In most cases, alumni are asked to contribute toward scholarships, but in this case faculty and staff have been contacted.
Faculty and staff may contribute by writing a check payable to JHU, noting that it is to be directed to the September Eleven Scholarship.
People wishing to make long-term pledges and those seeking more information should contact Sheila Love in the Office of Development and Alumni Relations, 410-516-8722. Compiled by Ishai Mooreville with information from the Hopkins Gazette.
