Michael Alan Fuller II Memorial Scholarship
Michael Alan Fuller, II (1969-2004)
The Michael Alan Fuller II Memorial Scholarship provides assistance for Mattoon High School seniors pursuing higher education. Scholarships are available to full-time students planning to attend a two-year college, four-year college or university, or vocational/technical school. Multiple applicants may be awarded as funds are available.
The scholarship has been made possible by donations from friends and family of Michael Alan Fuller II. In 2004, at the age of 35, Alan died as a result of a single car accident on an icy road in Montana. For ten 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.
