Historical Note
The Remembrance Scholarships at Syracuse University were established in 1989 in memory of the 35 study abroad students enrolled in the University's Division of International Programs Abroad (DIPA) who were killed in the 21 December 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. The first group of scholars was selected for the 1990-1991 academic year. Additional information about past and present scholars is available on the Remembrance Scholars website.
The Lockerbie Scholarship program, also established in 1989, honors the 11 victims of Lockerbie, Scotland who died as a result of the crash that ensued from the Pan Am Flight 103 bombing. This program provides two students from Lockerbie, Scotland the chance to study for one year at Syracuse University. These scholarships are jointly funded by Syracuse University and the Lockerbie Trust. The first students were enrolled in the fall of 1990.
Through the Remembrance and Lockerbie Scholarships, the selected students exchange ideas and educate themselves and the campus community about the devastating effects of terrorism through various Remembrance activities. Initially, Remembrance activities were spread throughout the academic year. As of 1996, most Remembrance activities occur during Remembrance Week during the fall semester.
