On March 27, 2021, the world lost one of its most selfless, intelligent, and happiest
human beings. Megan was taken from this world way too soon, at the young age of 23.
Though we know she is looking down upon all of us, trying to crack a joke to keep us in
good spirits, the world is now missing one of its brightest lights. Her smile was
contagious, laugh infectious, and aura radiant.
Throughout her life, Megan was involved with many passions. Despite being diagnosed
with Klippel-Trenaunay slndrome (KTS), a rare congenital vascular disorder that
afflicts just r in roo,ooo people worldwide, she never used her condition as an excuse in
any matter of life. Whether it was her love for the game of soccer, superb per{ormance in
the classroom, devotion to community organizations, or uplifting personality around
friends and family, she constantly made the lives of those around her better. She was
always more concerned with how others were doing, rather than focusing on herself. She
was truly one of a kind.
Growing up in Freehold, NJ, Megan was involved with Freehoid Soccer for over 13
years. At Freehold Township High School, not oniy was she a member of the varsity
soccer and basketball teams, but she was heavily involved with and took leadership roles
in student government as well as various other student organizations. After graduating
as salutatorian from the FTHS class of zo16, Megan moved halfway across the country
to attend Washington University in St. Louis.
At WashU, Megan continued her active engagement with the community. She was the
Student Finance Director at the WashU Campus YMCA where she coached youth
basketball and soccer. Additionally, through involvement with her sorority, Alpha
Omicron Pi, Megan served as the Vice President of Administration and Philanthropy
Chairman. In the latter role, she was responsible for organizing various philanthropic
events and raised over $3,ooo for the Arthritis Foundation. She was also a member of
the Women's Club Soccer team, where she served as treasurer. Despite this heavy
campus involvement, Megan remained dedicated to her academics as she graduated
with a double major in mathematics and statistics as well as finance. Upon graduating
from WashU in 2o2o, Megan started her professional career at Cigna as part of the
company's highly selective Actuarial Executive Development Program.
As a result of Megan's philanthropic spirit, the Megan Schulman Foundation plans to
fuIfill the philanthropic spirit of Megan through empowering organizations, students,
and educators who carry out unwavering compassion for others, commitment to
community involvement, and dedication to academic excellence.
