Butler University financial aid programs and

indicated.
General Scholarships
Sharon L. Bassett Scholarship. Butler Trustee
Dennis Bassett created this scholarship as a
memorial to his late wife, Sharon, who died
after courageously battling breast cancer. It is
his hope and desire that recipients of this award
consider giving of their time and resources to
support causes related to cancer education, support
and research. Recipients are encouraged to
volunteer with the Sharon L. Bassett Foundation,
Inc. or other organizations or activities
supported by the Foundation. The recipient
should be a full time student in good standing
within the College of Business.
James E. and Martha Ann (Forsythe) Bettis
Endowed Scholarship. This fund was established
by the family and many friends to honor

highly respected for his work ethic, integrity
and dedication to servicing during a long and
distinguished career in insurance, investments
and financial services. When his wife, Martha
Forsythe Bettis passed away October 1, 2009,
family members renamed this scholarship to
honor both James and Martha. This scholarship

Medal recipient John D. Cooke, Class of 1962,
