Colburn / Madison Scholarship Fund

Our Story

Donors have created a scholarship fund in memory of Dallas Colburn and Nathanael Madison to benefit Architecture students.

On the evening of April 20, 2021, four Judson University students were involved in a multiple-car accident on State Road 31 that has taken the lives of two students. 

The Judson community mourns the loss of Dallas Colburn, a senior from Plano, Ill., and Nathanael Madison, a senior from Wernersville, Pa., who were killed at approximately 9 p.m. on Tuesday, April 20, due to the accident on State Road 31 near the entrance to campus. Two other students, Caleb Jones of Belding, Mich., and Matthew Hamon of Columbus, Ind., were treated at Sherman Hospital. All of the students were seniors in Judson’s architecture program.
