"Our son Tyler was a kind and gentle young man who enjoyed helping people,'' Joe and Jane Clementi said in a statement issued in a release by the organization. "This scholarship will help college students, and it will raise awareness of young people who are subject to abuse through malicious bullying -- and so it will help people in Tyler's memory. We are happy to be supportive of Point Foundation, and we thank them for establishing this scholarship.''
