Anne Suratt Memorial Scholarships

Anne Elizabeth Suratt was a student at the University of Illinois from 1994 to 1997. She died in a tragic airplane crash in May 1997 at Willard airport, where she was training to acquire flight instrument ratings. Anne was scheduled to leave the following week to work at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Research facility in Maryland. Anne was involved in campus programs to promote space studies, especially remote sensing of the environment. She gave numerous talks to elementary and secondary schools, as well as on campus, to promote awareness of remote sensing and how useful the technologies were to studying environmental problems.

Her parents, relatives, and friends established an endowment to fund annual scholarships designated for a junior, senior or fifth year undergraduate who is interested in space studies and/or earth sciences and whose major field of study includes at least one of these areas. The recipient must have a B average and demonstrate financial need.
