Recipients of Glick scholarship to be named

Jeremy Glick

ore than $100,000 has been raised for the Jeremy L. Glick Memorial Scholarship, and the first students to benefit from the fund will be announced in the spring. The scholarship was created by alumni and undergraduate members of the Alpha Delta Phi Fraternity to honor Glick ’93, who died during the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, when Flight 93 crashed neaar Shanksville, Pa.

The memorial fund is designed to recognize Glick’s leadership in campus fraternity and sorority life. He served as the president of the Alpha Delta Phi Fraternity during his senior year. Pete Heinrich ’60, alumni advisor to the fraternity, says Glick appreciated the financial support that made his education at the University possible and would have desired this opportunity for other students.

Nearly five years after the fund’s creation, a selection committee is being organized to decide on the specifics of the scholarship, such as the number of recipients and the amount of the financial award.

“We waited until the fund grew to a point where it would produce meaningful scholarship amounts each year,” Heinrich says.

A selection committee, composed of members of the Rochester chapter of Alpha Delta Phi, the University Alumni Hellenic Council, the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs, and Glick’s classmates and close friends, will make the final decision.

His contemporary classmates say Glick wasn’t just concerned with the well-being of his fraternity but supported all groups on campus, Heinrich notes. That’s why the need-based scholarship will be open to all undergraduate fraternity and sorority students.

“The committee felt it would be more representative of what Jeremy would have wanted.” Donations to the scholarship fund can be sent to the University of Rochester Gift Office, Box 270032, Rochester, NY 14627-0032.
