 Scholarship

In October 2004 the Arizona State University Department of Philosophy established a memorial scholarship fund in Christine's name.   Thanks to the generosity of the Sato family, and the contributions of many of Christine's friends, the fund has officially become an endowed scholarship.  Special thanks to Christy Hansen  and Professor Bernard Kobes (from the Philosophy Dept.), and to Jill DeMichele of the ASU Foundation for their efforts in creating this scholarship.

This is such a fitting and living memorial to Christine that I hope everyone is able to donate.  I have attached a copy of the pledge/donation form for the scholarship.  If you'd like to contribute to the Christine Sato Memorial Scholarship in Philosophy Endowment  please click on the button at the top of this page, print out the pledge/donation form and send it along with your contribution to the ASU Philosophy Department (the address is on the form)

This April was the first award of the  Christine Sato Memorial Scholarship in Philosophy.  The initial award ($500) was presented to two deserving students in the philosophy department.  The first recipients were Matthew Estes and Kristin Hagan.  Christy Hansen reports that "...Professor Bernard Kobes gave  a very moving and heartfelt speech about "Chrissy" and how much she was respected and liked by the members of the faculty who knew her.  He also spoke of the many contributions she made to the world and how successful she had become in her short life."
