San Diego State University Scholarship
San Diego State University is trying to raise $60,000 for a scholarship in honor of their lighting design student Chad Shelton who was recently killed. He had just graduated in May and had begun his internship in September at PRG LV.
$60,000 would allow SDSU to create an endowed scholarship that would enable about $1,000 to be given to a lighting student every year in perpetuity.
