I think the scholarship is a wonderful way to celebrate someone's life, but why confine its award to college students? There are so many deserving young people unable to afford a university education.
True, and that may not be a strict policy. The thinking was just that Justin was midway through college when he joined the company, that this might go to someone in a similar stage.

Hello Henry,
First of all please accept my congratulations on such holy mission.
Is it possible that you put there a Credit Card Payment Option for those who have no PayPal and Moneybookers account and those who are not Proz.com member?
Wish success to the person who will get this scholarship.

| We could push this a bit? | Sep 7, 2008 |
This is a wonderful initiative to remember Justin. But to see it come true it requires people to make donations... and it seems to be going a bit slow. You know, people seem to forget in a few days what they intended to do but never got around to doing. With ProZ.com of more than 170,000 members we should be able to do more than just... almost 4,000 by now? Could we maybe have a "blinking" reminder on the home page?

Thanks for the suggestion Dinny. On the top right side of the home page we've added a box with a picture of Justin that links to his bio and the donations page. Hopefully this will help and I'm always looking for creative ways to get the message out, so your suggestions are always appreciated.
Thanks again,
Maggie

I had to make a search to find it today...
edited!: Sorry, I found the box now, a little bit further down than where it used to be. Thanks!

Thanks to the many contributions, we are half way to the goal... just a tiny effort still and we will make it!
Yes, you're right, I just wanted to bring the subject to everybody's attention again.

Isn't our large (really large!) community unable to reach the goal?

| Time for a push from the site. | Nov 15, 2008 |
Most of us who have commented on this thread have probably already contributed financially. Also, many newer users and members didn't know Justin.
I think it's time for a new announcement from Henry, maybe a letter, emphasizing the purpose of the fund as well as (or even more than) the memorial to Justin. It's a worthy cause (IMHO) and would probably attract more contributers if presented well.
