Director Tony Scott's Family Founds Scholarship in His Name

Reason for his suicide still remains unknown.

The family of Tony Scott has established the Tony Scott Scholarship Fund at the American Film Institute to honor the late Top Gun director's "life and work," Scott's family said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter on Monday.

"The family ask that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the fund to help encourage and engage future generations of filmmakers," the family said.
