Virginia Tech has set up $100,000 funds to memorialize each of the victims of a deranged gunman who shot them in a campus rampage on April 16. According to a news release issued today by the university, the families of each victim will help decide how the 32 funds will be used, and the first awards are likely to be made this fall.

The money derives from the roughly $7-million that Virginia Tech has collected in donations intended to commemorate the dead. The remaining funds are likely to be used to pay the tuition and fees for a year of the students who were injured in the shootings, similar expenses of the children of faculty members who were killed, health expenses of the injured not covered by insurance, and financial and mental-health counseling for the victims’ families. —Andrew Mytelka
