Bonistall Memorial Scholarship established at UD

9:54 a.m., May 13, 2005--The Lindsey Marie Bonistall Memorial Scholarship has been established by the University of Delaware, with the assistance of friends of the University.

A sophomore English/journalism major at the University who was murdered May 1, 2005, Ms. Bonistall was recognized for her personal energy, enthusiasm and humor and for her kindness to the community of students of which she was so proud to be a part.

“It is appropriate to honor the life of this exceptionally talented, warm and outgoing young woman who loved to write, with a scholarship that will be awarded annually to an outstanding rising senior student of journalism,” UD President David P. Roselle said.

“Through this scholarship, the memory of Lindsey will continue to enrich the University in tribute to the many ways in which she enriched our campus,” he said.

The scholarship was established with initial gifts of $50,000 to the endowment. Persons who want to add to the scholarship endowment may send contributions to the Office of University Development, 109 Hullihen Hall, University of Delaware, Newark, DE 19716. Checks should be made payable to the University of Delaware, with a notation “In memory of Lindsey Bonistall.”
