University of Louisville scholarship to honor slain student

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) – The University of Louisville is setting up a scholarship fund to honor a student who was fatally shot at a concert.

The university says in a news release that the scholarship in Savannah Walker’s name will recognize a student who has demonstrated a commitment to social justice, equality and inclusion.

The 20-year-old Walker was shot March 19 at a rap concert inside a Louisville art gallery.

Walker was majoring in communications and sports administration and was a member of the Malcolm X Debate Team. She also founded the women’s club lacrosse team.
