Donate In Memory of Jacob Trulock
A scholarship fund was established in memory of Jacob Trulock who played soccer for SIU since he was age 7. He died in a hiking accident in March. Jacob was the captain of the NAHS soccer team, an outstanding student and accepted into the Purdue engineering program. The scholarship was created to help students follow their educational dreams like Jacob.
