In remembrance of Heath Ledger, his family, friends and ex-fiancée, Michelle Williams, in conjunction with the Hollywood-based organization, Australians in Film, have recently unveiled the Heath Ledger Scholarship Fund. The scholarship will provide financial aid for Australian ex-pats struggling to break into Hollywood. The fund will help cover the costs of acting classes and rent.

The 28-year-old Brokeback Mountain star died in January of this year from an accidental prescription overdose. He was found in his New York apartment by his housekeeper, who called Mary-Kate Olson twice before calling 911. Olson has yet to comment on the winter event.
