The Jason D. Morse '98 Memorial Scholarship is honoring former UE swimmer Jason Morse, who passed away in 2017 after a three-and-a-half-year battle with Adult Recurrent Wilms Cancer. Morse competed for the UE swimming and diving program from 1994 through 1998, and he left the program as UE's school record-holder in the 500-yard freestyle. Jason was heavily involved on campus, and was a member of the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity during his time at UE.
The initial fundraising goal for the Jason D. Morse '98 Memorial Scholarship is $50,000. The fund will be restricted solely for an athletics scholarship given annually to a member of the men's or women's swimming and diving program.
Anyone with questions on how they can help contribute to the Jason D. Morse '98 Memorial Scholarship fund should contact Senior Associate Athletic Director for Development & External Operations Scott Peace either by phone (812-488-4073) or via email (sp166@evansville.edu).
