The Scholarship Fund for Memphis-area Students has been in the works for several months, but is now just about final.  It has gone through all of the reviews and edits  and is now just waiting on all of the signatures.  Once that is complete, the fund will be available for anyone to direct their charitable giving either through student callers, online, or through the Memphis Forever Buffs fundraising efforts.  The funds that were raised for this scholarship fund back in February, during the Chauncey Billups Event, were put in a holding fund with the CU Foundation until the Scholarship Fund was finalized.

The scholarship will be open to in-coming freshman from the Memphis area.  If there isn’t a viable student in the Memphis-area in a given year, it will open up to a student from the state of Tennessee. 

If there is a Memphis-area alum that would like to be part of the commitee to select a recipient, please let me know via email.
