The Karrlin Field Memorial Scholarship Karrlin Field Memorial Fund Donation Form The Karrlin Field Memorial Scholarship is sponsored by the Karrlin Field Memorial Fund. The purpose of the Fund is to provide financial support for scholarships and charitable purposes related to causes that honor the life, creative works, and legacy of Karrlin Field. Karrlin Field (known to all as "Karrli") was an aspiring and talented writer of stories, poetry, and novels, and a designer of imaginative and dramatic computer games. Although she died in 2004 at the age of 17 due to the effects of cystic fibrosis, she left behind an impressive amount of creative work.

Initially, scholarships awarded from this fund will be used to provide financial support to female students who are pursuing a college education in computer game development and design at the college Karrli dreamed of attending, the University of Advancing Technology (UAT) in Tempe, Arizona (www.uat.edu) Scholarships will be awarded by a committee of UAT faculty and staff on a competitive basis to deserving students who in the judgment of the scholarship committee best demonstrate the academic and creative qualifications needed to succeed in the field of computer game development and design. The scholarship committee in awarding this scholarship will consider the academic performance and financial need of scholarship applicants. The amount of the Scholarship is initially planned to be $1,000 (one thousand dollars) for tuition, awarded twice per year in the fall and spring semesters.
