History:
Since 2001, the Jameson 5-K at Southwestern has donated more than $100000 to the Jaysn Jameson Memorial Scholarship Fund at Southwestern. This scholarship was created in memory of Jaysn Jameson, 1990 Graduate, who passed away in 1991 in a scuba diving accident. The scholarship is given to a student at Southwestern University that is a Science major, has financial need and is in good standing with the University. These are the same criteria that Jaysn and his sister Kenda had when they attended Southwestern University.
