Jayson Kristopher Gray Endowment Fund

Jayson passed away July 10, 2023 due to suicide. Jayson’s family, friends and loved ones established this endowment to bring good from tragedy. We hope those in need will find financial relief from the generosity of those Jayson’s life has touched.

Jayson worked diligently as a U of I student toward dual degrees in Criminology and Psychology and was awarded posthumous degrees in 2023 recognizing his dedication. Through the College of Letters, Arts and Social Sciences, this perpetual endowment will help others facing financial hardship. We want Jayson’s lasting legacy to shine the light of love from others on fellow Vandals with positive impact.
