Pace Scholarship Fund for WTC Victims

Pace University will honor survivors of the WTC and Pentagon attacks through the creation of a fund that will supplement tuition support that will be provided by Governor George Pataki’s proposed World Trade Center Memorial Scholarship Fund.

“Whatever the level of the prevailing CUNY and SUNY tuition support is, Pace will make up the difference and provide a four-year full tuition supplement for up to 75 individuals.

The scholarship is available to spouses and children of the September 11th terrorist attacks. Pace has also established an endowment for additional scholarship support and has made an initial contribution to the fund. All proceeds will provide financial aid and assistance for any spouse or child of a victim of the attacks. In addition, a percentage of the gifts received by the University to the Annual Giving Program from alumni and friends will be designated in support of the endowed scholarship fund.

A fund for current Pace University students affected by the attacks has been created to help meet specific needs of those students who were displaced, suffered a loss in employment or lost a family member. Grants up to $1,000 are available. Pace has provided an initial contribution to the fund. Contributions may be sent to: Office of University Advancement; Pace University, One Pace Plaza; New York, NY 10038; Telephone, 212-346-1276. Checks should be made to Pace University.

A permanent memorial site will also be established at One Pace Plaza, in recognition of members of the Pace community who lost their lives in the attacks. The memorial will be completed within the next year.
