After Jason' memorial service in East Texas, three of his college professors informed us that Stephen F. Austin State University, Department of Math, had established a scholarship in Jason's memory. He was a student at SFASU for twelve years earning two bachelor degrees (Communications and Mathematics) and a masters in Mathematics. To their knowledge he again set a new standard of being the first blind student to receive a masters in math. He also spent a thirteenth year as a research assistant so he had, along with his parents, invested so much into this outstanding university. The memorial scholarship was such a brilliant gesture to show their love and respect for our son. I will write more about it later but I have attached a photo of the third recipient in 2007. Her name is Meghan and like all four students to date is a gifted scholar and a math prodigy.
