More Oxford Students Eligible For Shooting Survivor Fund: Officials

OXFORD, MI — Officials unveiled a new plan Tuesday to distribute $2 million in donations to the Oxford school shooting victims, including others who were at the high school and assisted those who were hurt in the deadly attack.

The original plan officials revealed in February limited those funds to only the victims and their families, as well as those who suffered from psychological trauma from the shooting. But only those close to the shooting, particularly those who were in the hallway, bathrooms or the one classroom where the deadly attacked occurred on Nov. 30 were eligible.

But officials expanded eligibility to the entire hallway, including more than three dozen classrooms and another bathroom. Hundreds of students are now eligible to receive funds from the donations if they suffered psychological trauma from the deadly attack and seek mental health treatment by May 7.

The Oxford school shooting donations was being managed by The National Compassion Fund, who put together a local steering committee to determine where the money goes. An online application will be made available on April 15 and funds will begin getting distributed June 17.
