Congratulations to Briana Meredith and Sophia Stallard, daughters of Wallens Ridge State Prison employees, Officer Charles “Wally” Meredith and Velisa Stallard, HRO, for being awarded Correctional Peace Officer Foundation scholarships.  (We love the hat Warden!)

A letter sent in from Joshua Salinas – father Josh Salinas (Wasco – CA) – reads:

Dear CPOF Scholarship Committee,

I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for being selected as a recipient for your
prestigious scholarship award. I am honored and deeply appreciative of your support.

This scholarship will significantly alleviate the financial burden of my education and enable me
to focus more on my studies and personal development. I will continue to pursue a degree in
Electrical Engineering at Cal Poly SLO with your support. This award will help me achieve my
academic and career goals.

Your generosity and belief in my potential inspire me to work even harder and contribute
positively to my community. I am committed to making the most of this opportunity and will strive
to uphold the values and standards that your organization represents.

Thank you once again for your kindness and support. I am incredibly grateful for your
investment in my future.

Sincerely,

Joshua A Salinas
