Remembrance 2015

Syracuse University announces 2015-16 Remembrance Scholars

Syracuse University has announced the 35 students who will serve as the 2015-16 Remembrance Scholars.

The scholars, chosen by the Remembrance Scholar Committee, will pay tribute to the 35 SU students killed in the Dec. 21, 1988, terrorist bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland.

The students chosen, all juniors, receive a $5,000 scholarship for their senior years at SU. The scholarships are funded through an endowment supported by gifts from alumni, friends, parents and corporations, according to an SU News release. The group is also responsible for helping to plan Remembrance Week, a yearly event during the fall semester that honors the victims of the Pan Am Flight 103 bombing.

The scholars will be recognized during a convocation in Hendricks Chapel on Oct. 30. The 2015-16 Lockerbie Scholars were also selected. Each year, two students from Lockerbie come to SU for a year of study through the Syracuse-Lockerbie Scholarships. This year’s Lockerbie Scholars are Joanna Barrie and Ellen Boomer.

The 2015-16 Remembrance Scholars are:
