Xzavier Tillman-Shaw Memorial Scholarship Fund

Xzavier ‘PJ’ Tillman-Shaw was a one-of-a-kind, loving, compassionate son, brother, cousin, and nephew. Having lost both of his parents at a young age, PJ strived for a better life abroad in Japan to live as a monk. A student of the Japanese language and anime. PJ was an avid fan of many anime like Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece. He held high grades in Japanese in high school and college. Unfortunately, PJ succumbed to an untimely seizure that would take his life on October 31st, 2023. He was only 20 years old. We wish to preserve his legacy through the current and next generation of international relations professionals, self-proclaimed otakus, and those studying the Japanese language.
