MALIBU, CA — Pepperdine University this week announced a new scholarship in memory of the four students killed in October in a Pacific Coast Highway crash.
The university worked with the families of the students — Niamh Rolston, Peyston Stewart, Asha Weir and Deslyn Williams — to set up the scholarship, dubbed the Our Four Angels Endowed Scholarship.
The scholarship will support students pursuing an undergraduate degree at Seaver College, the university’s flagship liberal arts school, according to the announcement.

“These students were bright lights in the Pepperdine community and each one of these students had a special impact on everyone they met. Their absence will long be felt,” Pepperdine officials wrote.
The four senior students, who were 20 and 21 years old, were standing on the side of PCH when they were fatally struck by a driver the night of Oct. 17, according to authorities.
