David N. Simon Scholarship Fund
Who Was He?
David Nathan Simon was a son, brother, friend, and special influence on people scattered worldwide. He was only twenty-two when he was tragically killed in an accident at O'Hare Airport in Chicago in 1993. He had graduated from Bradley University three months prior to his death. David had already accomplished much and had touched many. At the time of his death David was making the transition to a career, marriage, and all of the things that are expected after graduation.
What is the goal of the Scholarship?
Bradley University played a large part in David's growth and development. The best way to keep David's memory alive is to help others to help themselves. To this end the administrators at Bradley University choose four scholarship recipients each year from applicants. The administrators use their knowledge of the students, an essay from the applicant, and, as an enduring guideline, a profile of David's traits. A student does not need to be a 4.0 student, rather he or she must put all they have into school work, and the opportunities that college provides... just as David did.
How does it work?
Your tax deductible donation is added to the principal in an interest bearing account held at Cole Taylor Bank. When fully endowed the fund will generate interest income based on the principal. The principal will never be withdrawn, the interest generated will actually fund the David N. Simon Scholarships every year for eternity.
Would you like to help the fund but cannot attend the golf outing?
No donation is too small or too big. Please send your tax deductible donation payable to "The David N. Simon Scholarship Fund," c/o Cole Taylor Bank, 350 East Dundee Road, Wheeling, Illinois, 60090. The donation is not to be confused with the David Simon Memorial Golf Tournament.
Does your company match donations?
If so, please send the matching fund form or enclose a note so that we can contact your employer.
