The scholarship has been made possible by donations from friends and family of Michael Alan Fuller II known as Alan. In 2004, at the age of 35, Alan died as a result of a single car accident on an icy road in Montana. For eleven years, family and friends gathered at the “BIG AL Golf Classic” to raise money for scholarships and honor Alan’s love of life and desire to help others. To continue Alan’s legacy of generosity his parents, Michael and Carol Fuller of Mattoon, created an endowed scholarship fund with Southeastern Illinois Community Foundation which continues to grow and will provide scholarships into perpetuity.
The Michael Alan Fuller II Memorial Scholarship is a fund of Southeastern Illinois Community Foundation. For more information, contact Audra Clodfelter, Communication/Scholarship Administrator at 217.342.4988 or audra@enrichingourcommunity.org.
