Each year, 2 students from Lockerbie Scotland study at Syracuse for one year as Syracuse - Lockerbie Scholars. The Syracuse - Lockerbie Scholarships are jointly funded by SU and the Lockerbie Trust.* Since the first scholars arrived on campus in the fall of 1990, thirty-four (34) scholars have been ambassadors from Scotland to the SU campus, and have returned to their homeland with ties binding them to Syracuse University and Central New York.

Through these scholarships, the University encourages our students to exchange ideas and to educate themselves and the entire campus community about the devastating effects of terrorism. These students are future leaders, and their recognition as Syracuse - Lockerbie Scholars provide proof of the close bonds that have formed between our two communities as well as our strong desire to remember and to learn.

* The Lockerbie Trust is a Scottish charity, founded in early 1989. In addition to supporting the Lockerbie Scholarships, it funds various activities in and around the town of Lockerbie. SU has a strong relationship with the educational arm of the Trust, as well as with the staff at Lockerbie Academy, the high school that all Lockerbie Scholars attend.
