Virginia Tech University has established a scholarship in the memory of Professor Jamie Bishop, killed in Monday's shooting spree.
Prof. Mary Paddock, a German teacher at the school's Foreign Languages department and a friend of Bishop's, told NBC’s Today show that The Jamie Bishop and Jocelyne Couture-Nowak Scholarships will be granted to German and French majors at the university.
Jocelyne Couture-Nowak taught French at the school and was also killed in the attack. Sixteen of the 32 people who died in the melee were faculty members and students of the university's foreign language department.
