Matthew John Ford Memorial Endowment


I am excited to announce that there has been a scholarship created at Elon University in Matt's memory. The Matthew John Ford Memorial Endowment will help students who are majoring in computer sciences and who are pursuing qualified Elon Experiences opportunities. Southland Electrical Supply was generous enough to create an initial scholarship for Matt, however this scholarship was limited to 10 years. After speaking with Southland, their gift has now been combined with the endowed Scholarship along with any other gifts given in Matt's memory. Within the next 5 years, we have set the goal to make the Matthew John Ford Memorial Scholarship an endowed fund (meaning permanent). This way Matt's memory at Elon will live on forever. For all of us who had the opportunity to get to know Matt thanks to Elon, I hope that you can give in his memory. Any amount donated is a valued gift and is 100% tax deductible. When making a gift make sure to it is directed to "Matthew John Ford Memorial Endowment." Gifts can be sent to:


Jamie M. Killorin
Director of Gift Planning
Office of University Advancement
Elon University
2600 Campus Box
Elon, NC 27244

Questions can also be directed to Jamie Killorin at (336) 278.7454 or jkillorin2@elon.edu


Thank you! We miss you Matt!
