IUSF creates scholarships to honor 9/11

The IU Student Foundation is accepting applications beginning Oct. 1 for three scholarships, created in 2002 to honor victims of the Sept. 11 attacks who had ties to IU. These scholarships aim to honor the courage and commitment of all Americans in that time of turmoil, according to a press release. \nThe three 9/11 scholarships are valued at $1,500 each. Funds come from Little 500 race activities. The scholarships will be presented at a special awards ceremony during race week of the 2008 Little 500.\nStudents can apply for the scholarships starting Oct. 1. Applications are due March 7 and will be available at the Wilcox House, 1606 N. Fee Lane, and online at www.iusf.org.\nFor additional information about the scholarships, contact IUSF assistant director Matthew Ewing at mnewing@indiana.edu or 855-1937.
