Forrest E. Jump
Memorial Scholarship
This scholarship was established in 1980 by a generous gift from the estate of Frieda E. Jump in loving memory of her late husband, Honorable Forrest E. Jump, a respected and admired former judge of the Howard County Circuit Court in Kokomo, Indiana, and a 1908 graduate of the Indiana Law School.
The Jump Scholarship is available to law students attending IU Maurer or McKinney Schools of Law. It is awarded to students in any year of their law degree; however, the award is not automatically renewable, so previous recipients are encouraged to reapply each year to receive additional funds.
With questions, please contact Scholarships Officer Bethany Davis at bethany@cfhoward.org.
