In Memory of Vernon Hunter

The Federal Employees Education and Assistance Fund, in collaboration with the National Treasury Employees Union, is endowing a named scholarship in honor of Vernon Hunter, the Internal Revenue Service employee killed when a man flew a plane into the Austin office building where Hunter worked. The $5,000 scholarship will be awarded annually to a federal employee or the dependent of a federal employee who excels in academics and community service. Hunter's murder is tragic. But it's wonderful that his memory is inspiring a lasting gift to support education.
