All Syracuse University students are invited to learn more about the Remembrance Scholarship. Students planning to graduate in December 2025, May 2026 or summer 2026 are invited to apply now for the 2025-26 cohort.
The application deadline for the 2025-26 Remembrance Scholarship cohort is Friday, Jan. 17, 2025.
The Remembrance Scholarship is one of the highest honors a Syracuse University student can receive. Those selected are chosen on the basis of leadership, creativity, thoughtful academic inquiry and community impact, including through service to the military, ROTC, first responder, student government, campus clubs or other community organizations.
The 35 rising seniors chosen are each awarded a $5,000 Remembrance Scholarship, and are charged with helping to educate the campus community about the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, in 1988.
Scholars are expected to undertake meaningful service and to promote initiatives to combat hatred and extremism. Through education, all 270 lost in the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, especially our 35 students, are remembered and honored. The motto of the Remembrance Scholars is “Look Back and Act Forward.”
Any Syracuse University undergraduate student who is in good academic standing and will graduate in either December 2025, May 2026 or summer 2026 is eligible to apply. Students self-nominate for this scholarship. This award is not tied to financial need.
Information sessions will be held on the following dates and times:
At each session, current Remembrance Scholars will provide an overview of their experience, from the application stage to their participation in Remembrance Week.
To request accommodations for the information sessions, contact Melissa Welshans at mlwelsha@syr.edu.
The application deadline is Friday, Jan. 17, 2025.
